Albert Marth discovered NGC 7275 = m 48, along with NGC 7270 and 7271, on 9 Sep 1863 and noted "eF, S, mE." His declination is off by nearly 2' too far north (same offset as NGC 7270).

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/2/89): extremely faint, small, edge-on 4:1 SW-NE, very small brighter core. A pretty mag 13/13 double star is 2' W. Located 6.8' ENE of NGC 7270 in a group.
