Édouard Stephan discovered NGC 914 = St X-10 on 30 Oct 1878 with the 31" reflector at the Marseille Observatory and recorded "eF, diffuse, 1' dia". His position matches UGC 1887 = PGC 9253.

300/350mm - 13.1" (11/5/83): very faint, fairly small, diffuse, almost round. Located at the NE corner of the core of AGC 347.

600/800mm - 24" (11/23/19): at 375x; fairly faint, elongated 4:3 WNW-ESE, ~0.8'x0.6', low surface brightness, weak concentration. Three mag 13.5-14.5 stars are equidistant (1.6') SSW, W and NW. This relatively large member of AGC 347 is 10' ENE of similar NGC 906.
