NGC 1783 (also known as ESO 85-SC29) is a globular cluster within the Dorado constellation and part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite dwarf galaxy of the Milky Way. At an aperture of 50 arcseconds, its apparent V-band magnitude is 10.39,[5] making it one of the brightest globular clusters in the LMC as viewed from Earth. It was discovered in 1835 by John Herschel. The compiler of the New General Catalogue, John Louis Emil Dreyer, described this cluster as "considerably bright, large, round, very gradually pretty much brighter middle, mottled but not resolved."

It is located at a distance of circa 100 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 2293 is about 160,000 light years across. It was discovered by John Herschel on January 20, 1835.[3] NGC 2293 forms a pair with NGC 2292 and has an HI ring that surrounds both galaxies.
