William Herschel discovered NGC 2367 = H VIII-27 on 20 Nov 1784 (sweep 326) and recorded "a small cluster of scattered stars, not rich, nor very compressed." His position is ~3' south of the center of this compact cluster.

400/500mm - 17.5" 25 stars in a distinctive, fairly rich 6' group which is elongated N-S. The brightest star HD 57370 is a close double (HLD 87 = 9.4/9.7 at 5"). A nice elongated group at the south end includes the bright double, three other mag 11/12 stars and several fainter stars. A compact group of four stars is in the field to the north. Located in a rich low power field at 100x.
