Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7333 is a single star. Again, Schultz's accurate RA and Dec make the identification absolutely certain. The double star mentioned in the RNGC is taken directly from Carlson's 1940 article in Ap. J. Carlson misquotes Reinmuth (who got the right object, but called it a "nebulous star 15, star 14 p 0.7 arcmin)" as noting a double star. So, I suppose that we could say that the RNGC is half right in this case.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7333 17.5" (10/17/98): extremely close double star just 2.0' NE of the center of NGC 7331. At 220x it appeared as a single mag 15 star 40" following a mag 13.5-14 star. This star is on a line between NGC 7335 and the core of NGC 7331.
