Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 453 is a linear triple star found by Stephan.  The stars are exactly where
Stephan measured them to be, and his description mentions "one or two" vF 
stars involved.  On a night of less than perfect seeing, the three stars must 
indeed resemble a faint nebula laced with even fainter stars.
