Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3201 is a triple galaxy in a common corona at a redshift of 0.0687, with a background galaxy just to the southwest at z = 0.2117. The background galaxy has a faint Galactic star superposed on its southwestern side, and there are at least three other fainter objects -- probably galaxies and a star -- on to the south.
None of this complexity is seen on the print of Wolf's plate, of course, so I've just called it "four galaxies", and provide positions for those four, and for the nearby star. All this may be seen on the SDSS image.
