Ormond Stone discovered NGC 3776 = LM 1-190 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory. His very rough position (nearest min of RA) is about 3' south of CGCG 012-045 = PGC 36048, a very small faint galaxy. RNGC identifies this galaxy as NGC 3776, but the CGCG does not make the NGC equivalence.

400/500mm - 18" (4/30/11): extremely faint, very small, round, 12" diameter, required averted and could not hold steadily. Collinear with two stars mag 12.7/13.8 at 3.2' S and 5.6' S. Only faint stars in the field.
