John Herschel discovered NGC 795 = h2455 on 27 Oct 1834 and logged "pF, S, R; makes an obtuse angled triangle with 2 stars 11th mag." His position and description of the nearby stars matches ESO 153-008 = PGC 7552.

600/800mm - 25" (10/15/17 - OzSky): at 397x; fairly faint or moderately bright, slightly elongated NW-SE, ~30" diameter. Sharply concentrated with a very small, very bright core (also slightly elongated NW-SE) that increases to an intensely bright nucleus. 13th mag stars are just 0.9' NW and 1.5' ENE, and a 15th mag star is off the west side [30" from center].
