Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 7763 = LM 1-269 on 28 Nov 1885 and logged "mag 15.0; vS; R; faint star following." His rough position is just 24 seconds of RA east of PGC 72565. Herbert Howe noted the "F * f" is mag 13.5, and follows about 2 seconds, a trifle north." His position (repeated in the IC 2 Notes) is accurate.

400/500mm - 17.5" (9/26/92): faint, small, round. A very faint mag 15 star is almost attached on the east side. Located 18' ENE of NGC 7754.
