William Herschel discovered NGC 4035 = H III-279 = h3372 on 8 Feb 1785 (sweep 372) and recorded "eF, pL. Requires much attention to be seen. I saw it also with 240, but its light was much lessened and the difficulty of seeing increasing." CH's reduction is less than 2' northeast of PGC 37853. JH made the single observation "eeF; pL; R; has a * 9m 0.9 radius of field dist; 45° +/- nf."

400/500mm - 18" (4/9/05): very faint, fairly small, round, 0.8' diameter, very low surface brightness with little or no concentration. Located 5.8' SSW of mag 9 HD 104306.
