NGC 3036
14" (4/2/16 - Coonabarabran, 123x and 160x): nice cluster consisting of two main groups with offshoots. Overall fairly rich with roughly 30 stars in the southern group and 15 in the northern. The larger southern group forms an elongated looping chain and extends ~6'x1.5'. It includes a mag 9.9 star near the west end and a 11.5/12.5 pair at 15" on the southwest end. Two mag 10 stars are at the east end. The distinct northern chain also includes a 14" pair. This cluster is situated 12' WNW of mag 5.6 HD 85656.
