John Herschel discovered NGC 7368 = h3955 on 4 Oct 1836 and recorded "F; lE; glbM; 30" length."

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/20/96): faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 1.0'x0.5'. No concentration though viewed hampered by the very low elevation. In good moments, appears up to 1.5'x0.5' in size. Forms an isosceles triangle with two mag 13 stars 3.5' S and 3.5' WNW.
