Historical observations
Dunlop, James (1827)
James Dunlop discovered this open cluster from Paramatta, New South Wales, and included it as No. 431 in his catalogue of 1827. Using a 9-inch f/12 telescope, he described it as "a curiously curved line of small stars, of nearly equal magnitudes; two stars of 7th magnitude following."
