NGC 3700

NGC 3701
Discovered (Apr 10, 1785) by William Herschel
NGC 3702
Discovered (1886) by Francis Leavenworth (II-439)
NGC 3703
Discovered (Dec 31, 1885) by Ormond Stone (I-187)
NGC 3704
Discovered (Feb 23, 1878) by Wilhelm Tempel (I-35, V-10)
The second IC notes "Not found by Howe (4 nights, 1898-99). Tempel saw 3707 four times, 3704 only once (place by sketch, 25 May 1881, in private letter). Common has '2 faint, round, on the parallel (of declination), star symmetrically placed between.' I assumed, perhaps erroneously, that 3704 and 07 are the same as Common's, the place of which is RA 11 22 57, NPD 100 33.3, though Tempel's nebulae are not on the parallel".

Discovered (Apr 11, 1882) by Édouard Stephan (12a-46)
NGC 3745 (= PGC 36001 = Arp 320 = one of the Copeland Septet = Hickson 57)
Discovered (Apr 5, 1874) by Ralph Copeland
A 15th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type E/S0?) in Leo (RA 11 37 44.5, Dec +22 01 16)
One of a group of seven galaxies discovered by Copeland: NGC 3745, 3746, 3748, 3750, 3751, 3753 and 3754. The first IC notes that the NGC positions of all of these are wrong: "The RA's of these should be increased by 1m 32s, and the NPD diminished by 15.9 arcmin, as pointed out by Kobold in the A.N. 3241. In the Birr diagram the objects alpha and iota should be removed from the diagram (their places in the NGC are correct). The error was caused by my assuming two stars described on different nights as 'very red' and 'reddish' to be identical, which they are not (see A.N.3246)".
