NGC 3724
24" (3/9/13): fairly faint, small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, 24"x12", contains a small bright core with fainter extensions. Middle galaxy in a 4' string with NGC 3722 1.8' SW and MCG -01-30-008 = PGC 35771 2.4' ENE. Both of these companions are comparable in brightness. Also much fainter MCG -01-30-006 is 1.1' SW. PGC 35771 (labeled as NGC 3730 in the RNGC) appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 WSW-ENE, 0.4'x0.15'.
18" (5/12/07): extremely faint, very small, elongated 3:2 or 2:1 SW-NE, ~20"x12". Second of three in a 4' string with NGC 3722 1.8' SW and MCG -01-30-008 2.3' ENE.
17.5" (4/5/97): extremely faint, small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE. Brightest in close trio with MCG -01-30-005 = NGC 3722: 1.8' SE and MCG -01-30-008 2.3' NE, although still required averted vision. The NGC identifications in the group (from Leavenworth) are uncertain due to poor positions and several nearby faint galaxies.
