William Herschel discovered NGC 4095 = H III-383 = h1079, along with NGC 4092 and 4098, on 26 Apr 1785 (sweep 402) and recorded "Three, the time is that of the last [NGC 4098], which is vF and S. The other two which are south-preceding are much fainter and smaller." His position is 11 tsec east and 2.5' north of[NGC 4098 = UGC 7093. The "other two" are likely NGC 4095 = CGCG 128-025 and NGC 4092 = UGC 7087, the next two brighter galaxies in the group. John Herschel made two observation (sweeps 409 and 423) and his mean position is less than 1' too far north. Heinrich d'Arrest measured a very accurate position.

400/500mm - 17.5" (5/14/88): faint, very small, round, small bright core. A mag 14 star is 1.0' E. Fifth of six in the field within the NGC 4065 cluster with NGC 4098 3.1' NE. Located between NGC 4093 and NGC 4098.
