Edward Swift, Lewis' 13 year-old son, discovered NGC 6536 = Sw. I-84 on 18 Aug 1884 and recorded "vF; R; pL; 3 stars in form of a triangle near." Their position is 10 sec of RA east and less than 1' south of UGC 11077 = PGC 61166. The triangle probably refers to 3 mag 11 stars to the north.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/11/88): faint, small, slightly elongated WNW-ESE, unconcentrated.
