Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4017 is at least two interacting galaxies -- possibly three -- and a star. The third "galaxy", if that is what it is, is superposed on the western arm of the brightest galaxy; it may simply be a knot in that galaxy. Even the SDSS image doesn't quite clarify the situation.
Whatever the situation, the identification is clear; the object is verified on the print of Wolf's original plate.
