Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
There is either a star or a very compact companion superposed just a few arcseconds northeast of the nucleus. It looks like a companion on the DSS images, but a star on the SDSS image. This could also be a case of a galaxy with a double nucleus. Based on the SDSS image, I've called the northeastern object a superposed star.
The two objects are close enough together that most of the automated surveys pick up just one object or the other.
Also see IC 5336.
