Correct identification of this object[edit]
The correct identification of some NGC objects is difficult due to errors and misunderstandings of the original observer and of the astronomers that, during time, made and re-analysed the data.
Use the information of different sources, NGC 3387 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 3386 and NGC 3387 are different objects: a galaxy and (probably) a group of stars!
