48" (4/2/11): bright, fairly large, elongated 3:1 NNW-SSE, 0.9'x0.3', sharply concentrated with a very bright small core. First of six in the NGC 3801 group with MCG +03-30-35 4.5' ESE and NGC 3801 7' ENE. A mag 11.5 star lies 2.3' SE.
18" (5/12/07): fairly faint, fairly small, very elongated 3:1 NNW-SSE, 0.9'x0.3', nearly collinear with two mag 11.5 and 13 stars to the SE. First in a group with brightest member NGC 3801.
17.5" (4/1/95): faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NNW-SSE, very small brighter core, faint stellar nucleus at moments. Collinear with two mag 11.5 and 13 stars 2.3' and 4.7' SE, respectively. First in the NGC 3801 group and located 7.0' WSW of NGC 3801.
