Lewis Swift discovered NGC 7536 = Sw. V-98, along with NGC 7535, on 29 Sep 1886 and recorded "eeF; pS; R; curiously placed in a ring of 6 stars np of center." His position and description is accurate. This is one of several candidates that Corwin suggests might be John Herschel's NGC 7555.

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/23/89): faint, fairly small, oval SW-NE, bright core. A group of five stars are within a 3' radius including a mag 13 star 1.3' NW, a mag 12 star 2.5' NE and a mag 11 star 2.4' SSW. Pair with NGC 7335 9.2' N in the NGC 7556 group.
