E.E. Barnard and Sherburne Burnham discovered IC 934 in a group around June 1892 with the 36" Lick refractor. Corwin identifies IC 934 with 2MASX J13435235+5539243, which is located 2.6' NW of Barnard's position -- a large discrepancy. Steinicke chooses SDSS J134402.89+553859.0 as IC 934, although this galaxy is very close to mag 7.25 HD 119821 and would probably not be seen in the glare of the star. In any case due to Barnard's imprecise positions and the close separations of the galaxies, the specific assignment of IC 934 is somewhat arbitrary. See IC 917 for more.

900/1200mm - 48" (5 /9/18): fairly faint, small, round, 10" diameter. Located in the core of AGC 1783 just 2.3' NW of mag 7.2 HD 119821, which is a distraction. Pretty similar IC 932 is 38" S and IC 930 is 1.2' SW.
