William Herschel discovered NGC 6094 = H III-314 on 16 Mar 1785 (sweep 389) and recorded "eF, vS, lE, may be only a patch of a few eF small stars." His position is 8' southeast of UGC 10228, the only nearby galaxy. Bigourdan measured an accurate position on 1 May 1886 (repeated in the IC 2 Notes).

400/500mm - 17.5" (5/14/88): faint, very small, round, bright core.
