Albert Marth discovered NGC 7575 = m 553 on 29 Aug 1864 and noted "F, S, vlE." There are no galaxies near Marth's position, only mag 15 stars 2' northwest and 3' east-south. Karl Reinmuth reported "Not Found" on a Heidelberg plate and Dorothy Carlson equates it with star (repeated in the RNGC).

Harold Corwin suggests that NGC 7575 = CGCG 406-044 = PGC 70946 (brighter of a pair). This galaxy is located 1° south of Marth's position and requires he made a single digit transcription error. See Corwin's notes for discussion.

400/500mm - 18" (10/25/03): faint, small, slightly elongated, ~20"x15". Difficult to pin down orientation, though appears roughly E-W. Forms a 1' pair with fainter MCG +01-59-028.
