Édouard Stephan discovered NGC 7228 = St IV-9, along with NGC 7227, on 1 Sep 1872. His micrometric position is very accurate. It's surprising he missed UGC 11950!
400/500mm - 17.5" (8/27/92): faint, small, round, broad concentration, no sharp core. Close pair with NGC 7228 3.6' WNW and UGC 11950 also in field 8' E.
