Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 7030 = LM 1-241 on 3 Sep 1885 and noted "mag 14.0, vS, iR, sbnMN." His rough position (nearest min of RA) is 1 minute of time west of ESO 598-028 = PGC 66283. Ormond Stone later measured an accurate position at the Leander McCormick Observatory (repeated in the IC 1 Notes).

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/21/90): fairly faint, fairly small, round, bright core. An anonymous galaxy is 13' WNW. Located 25' E of 27 Capricorni (V = 6.2).
