John Herschel discovered NGC 7107 = h3880 on 6 Sep 1834 and recorded "vF; pL; R; vglbM; 2' diam." His position is accurate.

600/800mm - 30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 303x; appears as a large diffuse glow, very weak central concentration, contains a very small, very slightly brighter nucleus and a subtle bar oriented NW-SE. A group of 6 mag 11-14.5 stars is immediately to the west, the closest is a mag 13 star 1.7' W of center.
