IC 2237 is a star, perhaps with a defect involved. I have not seen a print of the original plate (which may no longer exist) on which this was found, but Wolf's positions have proved to be very good, so there is little doubt of the identity. See IC 2262 for more.
Malcolm and Wolfgang independently caught this one, too. I had earlier suggested that it might be a simple defect, but the star is well within Wolf's statistical errors of being at his position. My thanks to both Malcolm (via an email note) and Wolfgang (via his position list) for pointing this out.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
