Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3641 is about 30 arcsec southeast of IC 3640. Wolf has only one entry for the two objects in his 4th list of new nebulae found on a Heidelberg plate; IC 3641 is actually mentioned in the note to IC 3640. Wolf has the direction wrong in the note -- instead of "np," it should read "sf."
Both objects are visible on the print of the original plate, though IC 3641 is almost indistinguishable from plate grain.
