John Herschel discovered NGC 1828 = h2761 on 23 Dec 1834 and described "F, S, R, 20"; the first of 3 [with NGC 1828, 1830 and 1835]." His position is accurate

400/500mm - 18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): first in a trio with NGC 1830 and NGC 1835. At 228x this LMC cluster appears fairly faint, fairly small, round, 30" diameter. NGC 1830 lies 3.2' NNE and much brighter NGC 1835 is 4' ESE.
