Lewis Swift discovered NGC 5767 = Sw. I-37 on 14 May 1885 and recorded "vvF; pS; R; * nr; saw another nr as I supposed, but could not refind it." His RA is 16 sec too large. Bigourdan measured an accurate position on 14 Jun 1898 (repeated in the IC 2 Notes). UGC does not label UGC 9549 as NGC 5767.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/21/93): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NNW-SSE, 0.8'x0.4', weak concentration. A mag 13 star is 1.1' NNW of center.
