Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 3436. This is Todd's 6th nebulous object found during his search for
"the trans-Neptunian planet" with the USNO 26-inch refractor (see NGC 3604 for
more about Todd's list). As usual, he gives sketches of the field done
through both the large refractor and its 5-inch finder. These clearly
identify N3436 as CGCG 038-039. Also as usual, Todd's nominal position is
well off. I hope he would have done better had he found his planet ...

NGC 3436
17.5" (4/15/99): very faint, very small, irregular. Sometimes I had the impression that a very faint star was superimposed. Located 7' S of mag 8.5 SAO 118552.
