Visual observer Steve Gottlieb has noticed that this object is a star. The identification as a galaxy appears to result from its fuzzy appearance on the POSS-I red plate, described correctly by Zwicky (he also notes "absolutely stellar on the blue plate"). No other images in the visible or near-IR show the effect. The GAIA EDR3 distance and motion indicate it is a star; various sources of photometry suggest an ordinary F-type dwarf.
