John Herschel discovered NGC 1768 = h2718 on 30 Dec 1836 and described as "F; R; gbM; 20"." His position is just off the southwest side of this cluster.

400/500mm - 18" (7/9/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 128x, this LMC cluster appeared fairly faint, small, 0.7' diameter. It seemed to consist of a chain of faint knots of stars. Located 10' ESE of NGC 1755.
