Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 3847 is just where John Herschel put it, in spite of the note in IC2. Wolf chose the wrong galaxy for NGC 3847 (his object is actually IC 2952); coincidentally, the difference in declinations is just 10 arcmin. See also NGC 3855 where I suggest that this galaxy might also be NGC 3856.
