Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 3252 has a two minute error in its RA and a 4 arcmin error in its Dec. But it is far enough north that the RA error amounts to just over 8 arcmin, so there is no mistaking the bright galaxy that WH found.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 3252 17.5" (1/28/89): fairly faint, fairly small, edge-on 4:1 NNW-SSE. A double star ·1437 = 7.6/10.1 at 32" lies 5' N.
