Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 336 = LM 1-22 on 31 Oct 1885 with the 26" refractor at the Leander McCormick Observatory. Corwin examined the discovery sketch and verified NGC 336 = ESO 541-002 = PGC 3470. The RNGC, PGC and ESO misidentify ESO 541-004 = PGC 3526 (located 30' SSW of NGC 335) as NGC 336. See Corwin's notes and my RNGC Corrections #5.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/21/95): very faint, very small, round, low surface brightness. A mag 13 star is 2.2' NW of center. NGC 335 lies 20' NE. Incorrect identification in RNGC.
