NGC 460 is an open cluster with a nebula located in the constellation Tucana. It was possibly observed on August 1, 1826, by James Dunlop, though it was officially discovered on April 11, 1834, by John Herschel. Dreyer described it as "very faint (in Nubecular Minor)," with Nubecular Minor referring to the Small Magellanic Cloud. DeLisle Stewart described it as "faint, pretty large, irregularly round, gradually brighter middle, mottled but not resolved, 2nd of several."[2]
