Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7604 and NGC 7605 were found by Marth late in 1864. There is nothing in
his places that he could have seen with Laselle's 48-inch telescope, but just
one minute of time preceding is a pair matching his descriptions and relative
positions. It happens that he had found the brighter of the pair, NGC 7583,
earlier in the same year. Thus, that object has two entries in his list, and
two NGC numbers.
Unfortunately, CGCG put the number 7583 on the fainter of the galaxies, though
it does in fact belong to the brighter.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7604
17.5" (11/18/95): very faint, extremely small, round, 15" diameter, appears to brighten slightly at the center. Can just hold steadily with averted vision. Forms a pair with NGC 7583 = NGC 7605 3.0' S.
