Albert Marth discovered NGC 2752 = m 149, along with NGC 2751, on 28 Mar 1864 and remarked "pF, pL, vmE, gbM." His position matches UGC 4772 = PGC 25523.

300/350mm - 13.1" (12/22/84): extremely faint, small. Three stars are close NE including a fairly bright mag 10/13 double at 20" separation located 2' NE and a mag 10.5 star lies 1.0' NW. Located at the east edge of a galaxy group and 5.3' ENE of NGC 2749.

400/500mm - 17.5" (4/6/02): faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 SW-NE, 0.8'x0.3', low surface brightness with no noticeable central brightening. A mag 11 star is 1.0' NW and a close double star (brighter component is 10.5 mag) with a wider third component is 1.9' NE. Located 5.3' ENE of NGC 2749 at the eastern end of a group of 6 galaxies.
