E.E. Barnard and Sherburne Burnham discovered IC 930 in a group around June 1892 with the 36" Lick refractor. Harold Corwin identifies IC 930 with LEDA 2509027, situated 2.0' S of Barnard's position. Steinicke identifies 2MASX J13435235+5539243 as IC 930, but Corwin labels this galaxy as IC 936. Due to Barnard's imprecise positions and the close separations of the galaxies, the identifications are uncertain. See IC 917 for more.

Edwin Hubble catalogued LEDA 3483172 on a plate taken with the 24-inch Yerkes reflector while working on his 1917 PhD thesis "Photographic Investigations of Faint Nebulae" (published in 1920). It was found in his Field IV of nebulae (#49), which included the IC 919 cluster. Hubble didn't assign or suggest an IC designation.

900/1200mm - 48" (5 /9/18): fairly faint, small, round, 12"-15" diameter, even surface brightness. Located in the core of AGC 1783 with 6 other members with a 1.5' radius!! The closest two are LEDA 2509027 (= IC 929?) 45" S and LEDA 2509480 (= IC 932?) 50" E. Situated 3' WNW of mag 7.2 HD 119821, which detracts from viewing the fainter cluster members. A mag 13.5 star is 0.5' NW.
