Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3210 is a star about an arcminute west-northwest of NGC 3212.  (I had 
called it a double star earlier, but no longer see the very close companion
that led to that conclusion.)  WH's description is appropriate, and his 
position (for three objects; the third is NGC 3215) is good.  There is another 
slightly fainter star about 23 arcsec preceding NGC 3210; is it possible 
that WH glimpsed this, too?  If so, it may have added to the illusion of 
nebulosity.

NGC 3210

17.5" (1/28/89): NGC 3210 is a pair of mag 13.5/14.5 stars at 24" separation located just 1' WNW of NGC 3212.  This double was easily resolved.
