Simbad lists that the coordinates for NGC 3794 are 11 39 30.92 +55 09 32.7 and these appear to be incorrect. The object at these coordinates is most likely CGCG 268-068, a galaxy at v=5981 km/s (according to NED). The correct coordinates for NGC3794, according to NED, are 11 40 53.4 +56 12 07. I've observed the galaxy at the NED coordinates and confirmed that it is at the correct velocity for NGC 3794 (v=1382) and it has a larger angular extent than the object at the Simbad coordinates. Please check this object and correct the Simbad database, if necessary.
