Lewis Swift discovered NGC 7194 = Sw. II-90, along with NGC 7195, on 9 Nov 1884 and recorded "vF; S; R; lbM; s of 2 [with NGC 7195]." His position is 8 tsec of RA too far east and 1.8' too far north (similar offset as NGC 7195). CGCG fails to label this galaxy NGC 7194.

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/19/87): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, weak concentration. Forms a close pair with NGC 7195 1.5' N.
