Truman Safford discovered NGC 7375 = Sf 57 = Sw. IV-86 on 1 Oct 1866 with the 18.5-inch refractor at the Dearborn Observatory and recorded "vS, R, bM, N = 13m." Lewis Swift independently rediscovered the galaxy on 2 Sep 1886. Swift's position is 12 seconds of RA west of CGCG 453-007 = PGC 69695 and his comment "forms equilateral triangle with 2 st, one the brighter" applies. Swift is credited with the discovery in the NGC. Bigourdan measured an accurate position on 5 Oct 1888 (Comptes Rendus, 22 Jul 1901).

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/2/89): faint, very small, slightly elongated ~E-W, very small or stellar nucleus.
