Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 758 = LM 2-322 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick. His position is about 0.6 tmin east of PGC 7198 at 01 55 42.1 -03 04 0. The RNGC position is 0.3 tmin east and 2' south (4.5' ESE) of PGC 7198. This error is listed in my RNGC Corrections #7.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/29/94): very faint, small, round, 0.4' diameter, weak even concentration to a very small core. The RNGC position is 4.5' too far ESE.
