Otto Struve discovered NGC 107 on 14 Jan 1866 with the 15-inch refractor at the Pulkovo Observatory in St Petersburg while unsuccessfully searching for comet Biela. MCG (-02-02-014) doesn't label this galaxy as NGC 107, although the identity is certain.

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/17/88): very faint, very small, round, low even surface brightness. Located 4.9' NW of mag 7.8 SAO 128758.
