Based on redshift, NGC 6467 is part of the NGC 6500/01 group (LGG 414)

Albert Marth discovered NGC 6467 = m 352, along with NGC 6468, on 2 Jun 1864 and noted "vF, vS, lE." His positions for both objects is a good match with UGC 11004 = PGC 60972, the only galaxy at his position. Perhaps he accidentally recorded the same object twice??

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/1/89): faint, fairly small, round, low even surface brightness. Located in a rich star field among a group of stars. Unusual appearance as appears similar to an unresolved clump in an open cluster.
