In the vicinity of this galaxy, however, there is no other object that could be considered for the described observation. Leavenworth may have observed an entirely different pair of foggy objects. |

1707 | Ori | John Herschel | January 8, 1828 | 04 h 58 m 21 s | + 08 ° 04 ′, 3 | The entry is based on an asterism of four stars. When determining the coordinates of the supposedly discovered foggy object, John Herschel made an error of 30 arc seconds in the right ascension. When Guillaume Bigourdan wanted to understand Herschel's discovery, he observed another star, which he mistakenly believed to be foggy, due to the incorrect coordinates, and incorrectly identified it with NGC 1707. When Bigourdan then observed the same area of the sky again eleven years later, he originally found that of Herschel observed asterism, but still did not notice its coordinate errors, which is why he recorded the asterism as a new nebula, which later received the entry IC 2107 in the index catalog . |

6980 | Aqr | Guillaume Bigourdan | July 5, 1886 | 20 h 52 m 49 s | -05 ° 50 ′, 3 | The entry goes back to a star. |
7028 | Del | Albert Marth | 17th September 1863 | 21 h 08 m 14 s | + 18 ° 28 ′, 8 | This object is believed to be lost. A possible origin of the observation could be the galaxy CGCG 448-039 . |
7088 | Aqr | Joseph Baxendell | 1880 | 21 h 33 m 22 s | −0 ° 23 ′, 0 | However, after several sightings it was not possible to photograph the fog. Today it is assumed that it was a reflection from the neighboring Messier 2 in the telescope and that there is nothing at this point. |
7133 | Cep | Guillaume Bigourdan | September 18, 1884 | 21 h 44 m 27 s | + 66 ° 10 ′, 1 | This object is probably an imagination. |
7210 | Peg | John Herschel | November 17, 1831 | 22 h 06 m 22 s | + 27 ° 06 ′, 6 | The observed object can no longer be clearly identified. The entry could go back to the galaxy NGC 7487 . |
7238 | Peg | Lewis Swift | September 1, 1886 | 22 h 15 m 21 s | + 22 ° 31 ′, 2 | The observation cannot be understood. |
7405 | Peg | Albert Marth | September 5, 1864 | 22 h 53 m 36 s | + 12 ° 28 ′, 6 | There are no galaxies near the position indicated by Marth; it is impossible to understand what he saw. |
7447 | Aqr | Edward Joshua Cooper | October 8, 1855 | 23 h 00 m 26 s | −10 ° 31 ′, 7th | The observation cannot be understood. |
7471 | Aqr | Frank Muller | 1886 | 23 h 03 m 53 s | −22 ° 54 ′, 4 | The observation cannot be understood. |
7481 | Aqr | Ormond Stone | 1886 | 23 h 05 m 52 s | −19 ° 56 ′, 4 | No object could be identified at the given coordinates which corresponds to the description of Ormond Stone. |
7555 | Peg | John Herschel | September 11, 1828 | 23 h 15 m 30 s | + 12 ° 34 ′, 0 | Presumably it is a duplication of one of the following objects: NGC 7515, NGC 7536, NGC 7559, NGC 7563, NGC 7570. |
7564 | Psc | Guillaume Bigourdan | October 7, 1885 | 23 h 16 m 01 s | + 07 ° 20 ′, 9 | The entry goes back to a star. |
7565 | Psc | Gaspare Stanislao Ferrari | 1865/1866 | 23 h 16 m 19 s | −00 ° 03 ′, 5th | The entry goes back to a series of observations by Gaspare Ferrari, from which this and many others cannot be understood; see also NGC 7613 . |
7581 | Psc | Horace Tuttle | January 11, 1875 | 23 h 14 m 43 s | + 04 ° 32 ′, 1 | The entry may go back to the galaxy NGC 7541 . |
7613 | Psc | Gaspare Stanislao Ferrari | November 11, 1865 to January 18, 1866 | 23 h 26 m 42 s | −00 ° 11 ′, 5 | These entries all go back to observations made by the Jesuit brother Gaspare Ferrari between November 11, 1865 and January 18, 1866 during an unsuccessful search for Comet Biela and later published by Angelo Secchi in the Astronomical News. Most of these observations can no longer be understood. The entry NGC 7667 may go back to the H-II galaxy UM 160 (UGC 12589), but this can no longer be determined with certainty. The entry NGC 7663 could be traced back to one of the galaxies MCG -01-59-022 (PGC 71436) and MCG -01-59-023 (PGC 71455). |
