John Herschel discovered NGC 1829 = h2760 on 13 Dec 1835 and recorded "F, R, 60", r[esolvable]." His position (single sweep) is accurate.

600/800mm - 24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this LMC cluster and HII region (LMC-N23A) appeared bright, fairly large, irregular round, 1.5' diameter. Four stars are within the nebulous glow including a mag 13.5, two mag 14 stars and a mag 15 star. Located 1.8' NW of mag 7.9 HD 33486. The surrounding region includes several mag 12-13 stars, but these are detached from the glow. HS 114 lies 6.3' ENE.
