William Herschel discovered NGC 4675 = H II-795 on 14 Apr 1789 (sweep 921) and noted "vF, vS." My re-reduced position (with respect to 77 UMa) is 1' northeast of UGC 7935, so this identification is certain. JH mistakenly identified this galaxy as III-778 (which applies to NGC 4669) in the GC and Dreyer followed in the NGC. d'Arrest also measured an accurate position.

400/500mm - 18" (6/28/03): faint, fairly small, very elongated 3:1 E-W, 0.9'x0.3', weak concentration. A mag 11 star lies 3.9' SE. Located between NGC 4669 10.5' NW and NGC 4686 15' SE in a large group of NGC galaxies (NGC 4644/69/75/86/95 are all collinear in a one degree string).
