Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 7359 = LM 1-256 on 14 Jul 1885 and reported "pF; vS; pmE; bMN." His rough position (nearest min of RA) is less than 1 min of RA too far west and the description fits. Ormond Stone's corrected micrometric position (in the IC 1 Notes) is incorrect as he misidentified the comparison star. Herbert Howe finally measured an accurate position in 1898-99 with the 20-inch refractor at Denver.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/5/91): fairly faint, fairly small, very elongated, sharp concentration, bright core. Located 7' NE of mag 8.5 HD 215298. Unusual appearance as bright core dominates with very thin and faint extensions 4:1 SW-NE.
