Bn Ngc 3199

Paul Mayo (PhotonCollector) took this image of D 332 = NGC 3199.

James Dunlop wrote "A very faint ray of nebula, about 2' broad, and 6' or 7' long, joining two small stars at the south following extremity, which are very slightly involved, but their lustre is not diminished from that of similar small stars in the field. The north extremity also joins a group of small stars, but they are not involved. Figure 15."

Note Dunlop’s position is exactly 1 degree north of N3199, a copy error. The description and figure match N3199. The figure has south at the top.
