Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 3213 is 40 arcsec north of Wolf's position. The identification is clinched by his mention of the "* 12 att np". The galaxy and the star, as well as several other galaxies in the area, are all visible on the print of Wolf's plate. Unfortunately, Wolf's marks are missing from this plate, but there is no doubt that he saw the galaxy and simply made a mistake in reducing its position. I do wonder, though, why he did not list some of the other galaxies; they are well seen. I've listed the nearest two as companions of the IC galaxy.
