William Herschel discovered NGC 2192 = H VII-57 on 31 Dec 1788 (sweep 901) and recorded "a compressed cluster of vS stars, irregular figure, 6' diameter, considerably rich." His position (Auwer's reduction) is accurate. This older cluster has an age of roughly 2 billion years

300/350mm - 13.1" (12/22/84): two dozen very faint stars in a 4' diameter over unresolved haze.
