Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 2211 = LM 1-150, along with NGC 2212, on 11 Dec 1885. His rough position is accurate to the nearest min of RA, though Bigourdan (on 9 Mar 1890), Herbert Howe and Ormond Stone measured an accurate RA (repeated in the IC 2 Notes).

400/500mm - 17.5" (1/20/90): fairly faint, very small, elongated 2:1 SSW-NNE, small bright core. Forms a pair with NGC 2212 1.5' NE.
