24" (8/5/13): very faint to faint, thin edge-on 3:1 SW-NE, 20"x6". Situated just 1.4' SSW of NGC 7762. A mag 13 star lies 1.2' NE and a mag 14.5 star is just 0.8' WSW.
18" (8/26/06): very faint, very small, appears elongated SW-NE at moments, though only 0.3'x0.2'. Located only 1.4' SSW of NGC 7768 in the core of AGC 2666.
17.5" (7/20/90): extremely faint, very small, round, low even surface brightness, requires averted vision. A mag 14.5 star is 45" WSW of center. Located 1.4' SSW of NGC 7768 and 2.3' N of NGC 7767 in the core of AGC 2666. Extremely faint NGC 7765 lies 2.5' NNW.
