This object was discovered by Terzan and Ju on POSS plates and listed as a nebulous object, described to appear to bea globular cluster (Terzan, Ju 1980). It was listed as presumable globular cluster in Webbink (1985) and Racine, Harris (1989). Eventually, it was revealed to be a Planetary Nebula in the 1992 PNG catalog (Acker et.al. 1992)
