William Herschel discovered NGC 3392 = H III-88I = h763 on 3 Apr 1791 (sweep 1004) and noted "vF, S". His offset from II-872 = NGC 3394, the previous object in the sweep is accurate. John Herschel measured an accurate position for h763 on 3 Apr 1832 (sweep 412) and called it "eF; S; psbM; near some stars." But he placed h764 = NGC 3394 24 seconds of RA east, instead of 24 seconds west. MCG +11-13-042 should be labled as NGC 3392.

400/500mm - 17.5" (4/6/91): faint, very small, round, bright core. Forms a pair with NGC 3394 4' SW.
