-------------------------------
There is not a lot of info on this one. This from http://gclusters.altervista.org/cluster_4.php?ggc=NGC+6760 re NGC6760:

This globular cluster was discovered on March 30, 1845 by John Russell Hind. John Herschel included it in his General Catalogue as GC 4473, which became NGC 6760 in J.L.E. Dreyer's catalog.

So ... there you have it.
