Globular cluster Djorg 1, or Djorgovski 1, was discovered by S. Djorgovski when examining suspicious IRAS Point Sources with CCD photography with the CTIO 1.5-m telescope in September 1986, together with Djorg 2, another obscured globular cluster, as well a third one, Djorg 3; the latter later turned out to be identical with NGC 6540 (Djorgovski 1987).
