William Herschel discovered NGC 5667 = H II-807 on 17 Apr 1789 (sweep 924) and logged "pB, E in meridian, 1 1/2' l and 3/4' br. His position matches UGC 9344. Ralph Copeland, observing at Birr Castle, noted "vmE 0°, 2 centres of condensation." He probably noticed the brighter knot at the south end.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/24/95): moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NNW-SSE, moderate irregular surface brightness (brighter on the south end). A mag 14.5 star is involved at the NNW tip 42" from the center somewhat confusing the observation.
