William Herschel discovered NGC 932 = H II-489 on 29 Nov 1785 (sweep 481) and noted "F, S, lE, 3 stars visible in it, but they seem not to belong to it." His position is 2' north of UGC 1931 = PGC 9379. This galaxy is misidentified as NGC 930 in RNGC, MCG and RC3 (as well as secondary sources such as Megastar). UGC and CGCG equate the numbers NGC 930 = NGC 932, but only NGC 932 should apply. See notes for NGC 930.

400/500mm - 17.5" (1/20/90): fairly faint, small, round, bright core. A very faint 15th magnitude "star" (emission knot) is involved at the NE end. A mag 14 star is 1' ESE. NGC 938 lies 10' ESE.

600/800mm - 24" (1/1/16): fairly faint/moderately bright, round, 40" diameter, small bright core. A mag 14 star is 50" SE and a mag 12.4 star is 1.7' NW. Member of a large group (LGG 061), inlcuding NGC 924, 935, 938 and 976.
