Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7452 is probably the second-brightest object in a poor cluster with N7459 (which see) being the brightest. Swift's RA is bad, but it is off in the same direction as are his RAs for N7459 and N7455 (which also see); he found all three objects on 14 October 1884. Interestingly, Howe probably picked this up, too. See N7459 for more. ----- Is the discovery date actually 13 November 1884? See NGC 7455 where a letter from Swift to Barnard suggests that it might be.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 7452 24" (12/28/13): at 282x appeared faint, very small, round, 12" diameter, extremely small or stellar nucleus. Located at 3.1' W of brighter UGC 12302 (NGC 7459?). 17.5" (11/18/95): extremely faint and small, round, 15" diameter, very low surface brightness. Requires averted vision but observation repeatable. Located 3.1' W of NGC 7459. A mag 14.5 star lies 2.1' SSW. This galaxy is not listed in any modern catalogue and the identifications of NGC 7452 and NGC 7459 are uncertain due to poor positions by Lewis Swift.
