Édouard Stephan discovered NGC 2377 = St VI-8 on 19 Jan 1874. His position and description matches UGCA 132. Classified as nonexistent (Type 7) in RNGC. Correctly identified in RC2 as NGC 2377.

400/500mm - 17.5" (2/1/92): faint, fairly small, elongated SSW-NNE, ~1.0'x0.5', low surface brightness, no core. A mag 12 star is attached at the south end and an extremely faint mag 15 star is involved at the north end. Appears diffuse with ill-defined edges and seems similar to a faint nebulosity in a rich Milky Way field! Unusually low galactic latitude for a galaxy. Incorrectly listed as nonexistent in RNGC but plotted on U2000.
