John Herschel discovered NGC 6929 = h2080 on 21 Jul 1827 and recorded "vF; vS; the s[outh] f[ollowing] of 2 [with NGC 6926]." His position is accurate.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/16/88): faint, small, slightly elongated, small bright core, two mag 15 stars follow. Located 4' E of NGC 6926.

17.5" (8/1/86): faint, very small, slightly elongated, bright stellar nucleus or a star is superimposed. Two mag 15 stars oriented E-W are collinear close following and this may enhance the impression of elongation. Elongated at a right angle to NGC 6926 3.9' W.
