DeLisle Stewart discovered IC 2536 = DS 327 on a plate taken 1 May 1900 at Harvard's Arequipa Station. He noted "F, S, E at 50°, cbM."

400/500mm - 17.5" (4/1/00): very faint glow close NW of a mag 14 star. This is an edge-on but appeared too faint in unsteady seeing to clearly view any details. An evenly matched pair of mag 11.5 stars lie 5' NE. Located 28' NW of NGC 3120.
