Heinrich d'Arrest discovered NGC 3834 on 29 Dec 1861 with the 11-inch refractor at Copenhagen. His single position is 30" north of CGCG 097-084 = PGC 36443.

400/500mm - 17.5" (5/4/02): faint, very small, round, 0.8' diameter (viewed core only?). Located 9' SW of mag 9.2 SAO 99762. NGC 3827 lies 21' SW. This galaxy is within one degree of the core of AGC 1367 and is likely an outlying member (identical redshift).
