Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 1272 is an asterism of 4-5 stars. Bigourdan's one estimated position is about 10 arcsec preceding the geometric center of the asterism, but is good enough to allow unambiguous identification of the object. IC 1273 (which see) is a double star about 2.5 arcmin to the east-northeast observed the same nights.
