Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4287 is part of a double, interacting system; the western component is considerably brighter and larger and is undoubtedly the one that Javelle saw. There is a star or compact companion to the northeast; Javelle may have glimpsed this as he comments, "I suspect another nearby". There appears to be a bridge between this northeastern object and the galaxy pair in the DSS1 image, but its reality is not confirmed in the SDSS image.
