Frank Muller discovered NGC 3546 = LM 2-432 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at the Leander McCormick Observatory and noted "* 12m in PA 40° at 2.1'." His position is 0.3' of RA west of MCG -02-29-007 = PGC 33846 and his description matches.

400/500mm - 17.5" (5/4/02): faint, very small, slightly elongated, 25"x 20", stellar nucleus. Apparently I picked up the core region only as the arms have a much lower surface brightness.
