R.J. Mitchell, LdR's observing assistant, discovered NGC 7672 on 23 Oct 1857. While observing NGC 7671 he logged "I see a S, vF, neb about 6' south. and this latter is followed by a double star." His description and offset matches this galaxy. Lewis Swift independently discovered this galaxy on 31 Oct 1885 and called Sw. II-100 "eF; pS; R; v diff.; NGC 7671] near; [William Herschel] is wrong and [John Herschel] right as to brightness of NGC 7671]."

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/28/89): very faint, small, round, low surface brightness, no central brightening. Pair with NGC 7671 5.7' NW.
