Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3272 is a double star.  Schultz's position is within an arcsecond of the
modern position, and his complete description (F, vS, iR, stellar, r, m=12-13)
fits perfectly.  He also has a note that reads, "Nova VI an insignificant
object; p h721 [= NGC 3277] about 68 seconds and 160 arcsec south; ..."  Those
distances also exactly point to the double.
