This galaxy was missed by both Herschels, and was discovered by Leavenworth with the 26-inch refractor at the L. McCormick Observatory at Charlottesvile, Virginia. Details in Astron.J., vol 7, no. 146.

The RNGC notes that this is a 13.0 mag galaxy. Their coded description reads EON,SPN,BM.

NGC 7377
ESO534-G026
RA 22:47:47
Dec -22° 18.8'

In the NGC it is noted as pB, S, vlE, vgmbM, * 12mag p.

Steve Coe, using a 17.5” f/4.5, notes: “Pretty faint, pretty small, round with a brighter middle at 135X.”
