Herbert Howe found IC 3827 = Ho I-15 on 20 Apr 1898. He gave a micrometric position in the notes to list III (MN LX. 2), though it's 5.5 seconds of time too large. According to Harold Corwin, Bigourdan's #304 (later IC 3838) is the first observation on 14 Apr 1895, though his RA is 1 minute too large due to an error with the offset star.

400/500mm - 18" (5/16/09): very faint, small, slightly elongated ~N-S, 24"x20". A mag 14.7 star is just 34' S of center. Located 10' S of the NGC 4724/4727 duo. IC 3831 lies 8' SE.
