Thanks Terry, a great image!
Here is the first description ever made of NGC3201, it was written in 1826 by James Dunlop from Parramatta.
"D445. A pretty large pretty bright round nebula, 4' or 5' diameter, very gradually condensed towards the centre, easily resolved into stars; the figure is rather irregular, and the stars are considerably scattered on the south preceding side: the stars are also of slightly mixed magnitudes."
