Gc Ngc 3201

The globular D445 = NGC 3201 has a low concentration.

Dunlop's description was "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."

The PN NGC 3132 is 6.3 degrees north (pa 163). Brian Warner notes that Dunlop recorded this as “Dusky Yellow – a fine Planetary disc” in his star catalog but did not included it in his Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars in the Southern Hemisphere observed in New South Wales.
