Albert Marth discovered NGC 7524 = m 537, along with NGC 7522, on 18 Nov 1864 and noted "eF, vS." His position and relative separation with NGC 7522 is accurate.

CGCG (380-046) completely misplaces NGC 7524 by over 5° and apparently this large error was repeated in the RNGC rectangular coordinates. The error was listed in my RNGC Corrections #5.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/20/90): extremely faint, very small, round. Located 2.8' E of NGC 7521 in the large NGC 7556 group.
