NGC 3732
18" (5/12/07): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated nearly 3:2 E-W, ~1.0'x0.7'. Contains a bright core which gradually increases to the center. A mag 12 star lies 1' SW. Brightest in a group with a string of three very faint galaxies 10'-12' NNE and an additional 4 very faint galaxies 5'-8' further north. This group contains NGC 3722, NGC 3724 and NGC 3730.
17.5" (4/5/97): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 4:3 ~E-W, broad concentration with a bright core. A mag 12 star lies 1.0' SW. A group of at least six very faint galaxies lies between 10'-20' N and NGC 3723 lies 26' WSW.
17.5" (5/2/92): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated but irregular outline, fairly bright elongated core. A faint stellar nucleus is visible at moments. A mag 13 star lies 1.0' SW. Located 35' W of Theta Crateris (V = 4.7).
