NGC 3806
48" (4/2/11): last of 6 in the NGC 3801 group. At 375x appeared fairly bright, large, slightly elongated N-S, 1.4'x1.2', broad weak concentration but no core. Located 8' NE of NGC 3801 and 5' N of mag 9.2 HD 101485. NGC 3807 is probably a 16th magnitude star 2.4' NE of NGC 3806, although the two numbers are equated in the UGC and PGC and repeated in Megastar.
17.5" (4/1/95): very faint, fairly small, round, low surface brightness glow with no concentration. Collinear with two mag 12.5-13 stars to the SSW by 2.5' and 4.5'. Located 5' N of mag 8.7 SAO 99729 and 8' NE of NGC 3801 in a group.
