NGC 7028 is the designation of a celestial object in the constellation of Delphinus. The object was supposedly discovered by the German astronomer Albert Marth on 17 September 1863. [3] However, its identification is uncertain, and the object is considered lost. [4] No galaxies or nebulous objects are at the coordinates that he gave. [4]
One candidate is a spiral galaxy designated UGC 11676, or CGCG 448-039. [1] [4] It has an apparent magnitude of 14.8, [1] and is "very faint, small, very little extended", [4] just as Marth described. [4] While the declination of this object matches that of Marth's description, the right ascension is 2.5 arcminutes off. [4]
