Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2246 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 caught this one, too. See IC 2237 for more. The pretty wide double star that I suggested earlier is well north at 08 13 03.8, +24 00 53 (B1950).
