Frank Muller discovered NGC 929 = LM 2-335 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory and reported "mag 15.3, 0.6'x0.2' in PA 170°, precedes *8.5 3.8' PA 15°." There is nothing at his position but 0.8 min of RA east is MCG -02-07-009 = PGC 9334 and his description is fits. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position in 1898-99 using the 20" refractor at Chamberlin Observatory (repeated in the IC 2 notes).

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/8/94): very faint, fairly small, low surface brightness, elongated 3:2 NNW-SSE. Located 3.3' SW of mag 8.5 SAO 148396.
