Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 6936 = LM 1-233 on 1 Sep 1885 and recorded "mag 13.8, vS, R, slbMN, env 14.0." His rough position (nearest minute of RA) is ~36 seconds east of ESO 528-022 = PGC 65033. Ormond Stone measured a "corrected" position, but he made an error and placed the galaxy 1 minute of time too far west. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position with the 20-inch refractor at Denver.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/21/90): fairly faint, small, round, gradually increases to a small bright core. This is the dominant galaxy in AGC 3698, which appears to be a loose, poor cluster on the DSS. It also a member of SSRS Group 74 triplet with NGC 6924 37' SW and ESO 528-021 12' SW.
