Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 3777 = LM 1-191 on 26 Feb 1886 and recorded "mag 15.0, 0.8' dia, iR, small star or neb following." There is nothing near his very rough position (near min of RA). But 2.5 min of RA west is MCG -02-30-008 = PGC 35879 and a very faint star is 4 sec of time following. Herbert Howe's measured an accurate RA (given in the IC 2 Notes section).

400/500mm - 18" (3/19/04): faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SW-NE, 0.7'x0.5', very weak concentration. Located 13' SE of mag 7.2 SAO 156771.
