Wilhelm Tempel discovered NGC 113 = T I-1 on 27 Aug 1876 with an 11" refractor at the Arcetri Observatory. He described it as a "class III nebula, small, mag 14-15 nucleus." His RA was very round (nearest minute) but he measured an accurate position in his List IV-1.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/8/88): fairly faint, small, round, bright core, faint stellar nucleus. Located 43' S of the NGC 114/118 pair.
