Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 7365 = LM 1-257 in 1886 and recorded "mag 14.5; eS; R; gbMN; * 11 nf 4.0'." His rough position (nearest min) was fairly accurate and a mag 12 star is 3' northeast. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position in 1898-99 at Denver (repeated in the IC 2 Notes).

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/5/91): moderately bright, small, bright core, stellar nucleus. A mag 11 star is 2.9' NE and a mag 12 star 4.3' SE.
