William Herschel discovered NGC 2755 = H III-626 on 18 Mar 1787 (sweep 716) and recorded "vF, S, iF, lbM, resolvable." CH's reduced position is within 1' of UGC 4789.

400/500mm - 17.5" (4/5/97): faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 1.2'x0.8'. Even surface brightness with no discernable core. Collinear with a nice well-matched double 12' ENE [mag 11-12 stars at 21" separation].
