Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 3476 is probably also NGC 3480 (which see), and NGC 3477. The two smaller
numbers apply to nebulae found by Marth. His relative positions are good, but
are offset from the true positions by 3 arcmin in declination. His
descriptions are apt, so there is little doubt about the identifications of
his two objects.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3476
17.5" (3/22/96): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter. A mag 14 star is 1.2' E of center. Forms a pair with NGC 3477 3.7' SSE. There is faint pair of mag 14.5/15 stars 1.5' SSE at 14" separation which appeared nebulous at first glance.
