Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 473 is a group of four or more stars, three of them rather faint. Spitaler's position for them is excellent, as is his description. He notes NGC 2433 -- itself a triple star -- near to the northeast, and BD +9 1746 just 4 seconds of time directly west. The identity is secure.
