John Herschel discovered NGC 4094 = h3376 on 7 May 1836 and recorded "eF; L; pmE; vgbM. The direction of elongation points between two stars 11m; very near, and nf the centre." His position and description matches MCG -02-31-016 = PGC 38346.

400/500mm - 18" (3/19/04): fairly faint, fairly large, elongated at least 5:2 SW-NE, 2.2'x0.8, fairly low even surface brightness. The NE end of the galaxy points between a mag 10.5 star just following (2.2' E of center) and a mag 11 star close north (1.7' from center). NGC 4114 lies 28' NE. The galaxy is located 8' N of mag 9.3 HD 105063.
