Albert Marth discovered NGC 6452 = m 349, along with NGC 6458 and 6460, on 2 Jul 1864 and noted "eeF, S." His position is less than 2' north of CGCG 112-043. Karl Reinmuth correctly identified NGC 6452 in his 1926 photographic survey "Die Herschel-Nebel" and stated "eF, be 2 F st; identification doubtful." The two faint stars are mentioned in my observation.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/1/89): very faint, very small, round, low surface brightness. Situated almost between two mag 14/15 stars aligned E-W. Located about 12' WNW of NGC 6458 in the NGC 6460 group.
