N 3395/96, VV 246, Arp 270. I caught this very illusive faint interacting pair last night in my 10" Dob and sketched them. At 111x from my Bortle 3 site they showed as two very faint somewhat elongated knots. Both looked about equally faint, 3396 seemed more elongated than 3395 and both seemed to point at right angles to each other. I'll have to check them in my 12.5'' Dob next time.
Added treat was also viewing the close pair, N 3430 and n 3424 just south of 3395/96.
