Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 7269 = LM 1-250 in 1886 and recorded "eF, pS, R, glbM." His rough position (nearest min of RA) is 0.9 minutes too far west and 4' south of MCG -02-57-005 = PGC 68841. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position in 1897-98 with the 20" refractor at Denver.

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/15/90): very faint, small, almost round, even surface brightness.
