Ormond Stone discovered NGC 1124 = LM 1-74 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory and noted "*9, nf 1'." His description and rough position is a good match with ESO 480-007 = PGC 10838.

400/500mm - 17.5" (11/17/01): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter. Located 1.8' SW of a mag 10.3 star. This galaxy has a faint outer ring, but the observation records the smaller, round core only.
