William Herschel discovered NGC 3770 = H II-838 = h926 on 19 Mar 1790 (sweep 953) and noted "pB, S." Caroline's reduced position is 10 seconds of RA west of UGC 6660. John Herschel called this galaxy both "B" and "eF", although the latter observation mentions "Sky growing dull. Mirror tarnished." His mean position matches UGC 6600.

400/500mm - 18" (3/5/05): fairly faint, small, round, fairly high surface brightness, only 20" diameter. I probably viewed only the core as the catalalogued dimensions are much larger).
