Wilhelm Tempel discovered NGC 934 = T I-10 in 1876 with the 11" refractor at the Arcetri Observatory and described as "very small and faint. 5" dia = tiny planetary nebula". His position matches UGC 1926 = PGC 9352.

Based on a photograph taken by Perrine with the Crossley reflector, Heber Curtis noted "A small, faint, nearly round nebula is near this place, but it is not a planetary." In 1915, Harold Knox-Shaw also noted it was not a planetary based on a visual observation at the Helwan Observatory south of Cairo.

400/500mm - 17.5" (12/4/93): fairly faint, very small, round, small concentrated core 15" diameter, stellar nucleus. Located 13' W of mag 8.5 SAO 129923. NGC 926 lies 22' WSW.
