John Herschel discovered NGC 1867 = h2795 on 3 Jan 1837 and described as "eF, pL, R, 2' (sky dull)" His position is accurate.

600/800mm - 24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this LMC cluster appears as a fairly faint soft glow with no resolution, moderately large, irregularly round, 35" diameter, slightly brighter core. Forms the obtuse angle of a flat triangle with a mag 10.5 star 2.6' S and a mag 12.5 star 1.9' NW. NGC 1882 lies 15' NE and NGC 1887 is a similar distance ESE.
