Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 3821 is almost certainly a single star. Previously, I wrote:
IC 3821 is a double star, verified on a print of the original plate. Its image is blended on DSS1, and when I first went over the field, I mistakenly called it a single star. See IC 3636 for more about the discovery plate.
SDSS shows it to be single, though with two other stars and a galaxy nearby. The five DSS images variously suggest a single or a double star with different companions near the plate limit nearby. I'm sticking with what I see on the SDSS.
