Max Wolf found IC 3804 on a Heidelberg plate taken on 21 Mar 1903. His position and description matches NGC 4711, but both Wolf and Dreyer missed the equivalence. CGCG, UGC, and MCG use the IC desgination, though the primary identity should by NGC 4711. This confusion was noted by Malcolm Thomson as well as Harold Corwin.

400/500mm - 17.5" fairly faint, elongated SW-NE, gradually brighter halo. Located 6.2' WNW of mag 7.7 SAO 63208.

17.5" fairly faint, fairly small, elongated SSW-NNE, weak concentration. Located 7' W of mag 8 star.
