John Herschel discovered NGC 7219 = h3927 on 22 Jun 1835 and recorded "pB; R; psbM; near 2 stars." His mean position (2 sweeps) is accurate.

400/500mm - 18" (7/6/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): last of 5 NGC galaxies in the NGC 7192 group. At 228x it appeared fairly faint, small, round, 40" diameter. The brighter core is perhaps 15" and with averted vision the faint halo increased to ~1' diameter. A mag 13 star is less than 2' W.
