John Herschel discovered NGC 6932 = h3833 on 29 Jun 1835 and logged "F; S; R; glbM; follows a hook of 5 stars." His position is 40" too far south and the "hook of 5 stars" is southwest.

600/800mm - 24" (4/12/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this galaxy appeared fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 4:3 ~E-W, 1.0'x0.7', sharply concentrated with a very small bright core. A nice string of 5 stars begins with a mag 10 star 2.8' W of center and extends to the south. On the DSS, this is a striking ring galaxy.
