John Herschel discovered NGC 4191 = h1130 on 19 Apr 1830 (sweep 251). On the next night he logged "F; R; near a small star." and measured positions on four consecutive sweeps.

400/500mm - 17.5" (3/24/90): fairly faint, fairly small, oval SSW-NNE, bright core, stellar nucleus. A mag 12 star is 1.9' NW. Forms a pair with NGC 4180 15' SW.
