In the same area of ​​the sky are u. a. the galaxies NGC 3144 and NGC 3147 .

The object was discovered on April 2, 1801 by the German-British astronomer Wilhelm Herschel , which later led to the entry NGC 3194 . Since Wilhelm Herschel's position information for this observation night was affected by major systematic errors, the object was recorded by John Herschel as a new object on September 2, 1828 and later led to the entry NGC 3155 .
