Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 3702 = LM 2-439 and recorded "mag 15.2, 0.1' dia, R, gbM, *10 precedes 30s; *10 follows 30s." There is nothing at his position but 1 min of RA east and 8' north is MCG -01-29-026. A mag 9-10 star is 20 sec of RA east (and 1.8' north) and a mag 13 star is 20 sec of RA west, both plausible candidates but not a certain match. RNGC identifies this galaxy as NGC 3702, but MCG does not label it as such.

400/500mm - 17.5" (3/29/85): faint, small, slightly elongated, even surface brightness.
