NGC 2807
18" (3/4/08): faint, small, slightly elongated NNW-SSE, 24"x20", weak concentration. Located 2.4' SW of NGC 2809 in a group. Forms a close pair with NGC 2807A = MCG +03-24-030 just 50" WSW. The companion appeared very faint, very small, round, 15".
18" (2/9/08): faint, small, elongated 3:2 NNW-SSE, 25"x18", weak concentration. Second faintest of a close trio with brighter NGC 2809 2.4' NNE and fainter NGC 2807A 50" SW. Member of the NGC 2804 group.
17.5" (3/12/94): very faint, very small, slightly elongated NNW-SSE, weakly concentrated. Located 2.5' SSW of NGC 2809 in a group with a mag 10 star 3.3' S. At moments, an extremely faint companion possibly elongated E-W is barely visible just west of the south edge (separation 49"). This fainter component of the double system NGC 2807 is incorrectly identified as NGC 2806 in the RNGC, MCG, U2000.
