Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4119 is one or two galaxies merged with a nearby star. Wolf must have suspected some irregularity in the image since he has a question mark in his Remarks column. He marked the correct object on his plate.
The galaxy itself is asymmetrical in the DSS1 image with the brightest part at the north end. The DSS2 and SDSS images show that there may be two galaxies here. However, both are elongated in the same position angle; this is either a coincidence, or the object is indeed a single, asymmetrical galaxy.
The correct object is marked on the print of the original plate; see IC 3636 for more about that discovery plate.
