Stephane Javelle discovered IC 5336 = J. 3-1453, along with IC 5337 and 5338, on 25 Nov 1897. He noted "faint, elongated in the meridian [N-S], ill defined, very slightly condensed."

600/800mm - 24" (12/1/16): extremely faint, very small, possibly elongated, 15" diameter. Only a single glow of the double system (separation 25") was seen with confidence. The components are pretty similar in mag and size, so either or perhaps both were seen but not simultaneously. The listed size and mag's refer to IC 5336 NED2 = LEDA 1642687. This double system lies in the core of AGC 2626, 3.8' SW of IC 5338 (central cD). A 30" pair of mag 9.7/12.3 stars is 3.7' NW.
