Though this is 4 arcmin from the NGC position, this single star (not a close double; see the next paragraph) is probably Tempel's object. It is northeast of NGC 157, and is similar to many other of Tempel's stars that he mistook as nebulous. I'm a bit more confident of this one than I am of NGC 156, which see.

Having looked at this again (August 2015), I no longer think that this is a double star. The SDSS image -- the highest resolution image I've found online -- is resolutely single when compared to other single stars nearby. The other images I've looked at today are also single stars, so I've changed the position table to reflect this. Sorry to have misled you all this time.
