John Herschel discovered NGC 2767 = h556 on 8 Mar 1831 (sweep 330) and recorded "eF; sbM to a * 15m; the first of 3 [with NGC 2769 and NGC 2771]." His position is 6 seconds of RA too large, a similar offset as his positions for other two.

400/500mm - 17.5" (4/5/97): first and smallest of trio with NGC 2769 and NGC 2771. Faint, very small, round, 15" diameter, even surface brightness. NGC 2762 3' NW not seen.
