Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 1475 = LM 2-390 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at the Leander McCormick Observatory and recorded "mag 15.3, 0.1' dia, R, *14 4' north-preceding." His position is close to PGC 1007783, though the mag 14 star is 5' southwest, instead of northwest. RNGC classifies this number as nonexistent. See Corwin's notes.

400/500mm - 18" (10/16/09): not seen initially at 275x but referring to the exact position an extremely faint glow was quickly seen with averted. Appears very small, round, 12" diameter. Visible ~2/3 of the time with averted once it was acquired.

18" (1/1/08): extremely faint and small, round, 10"-15" diameter. Requires averted vision to glimpse. Located 9' SE of mag 8 HD 24485 and 4.5' S of a mag 11.5 star. A couple of other similar stars are within 5' to the SW and NE. The RNGC lists this number as nonexistent.
