William Herschel discovered NGC 7067 = H VII-50 = h2118 on 27 Sep 1788 (sweep 866) and recorded "a few small stars with suspected nebulosity. 300 shows a great many smaller stars intermixed with the former, in the shape of a cluster." Although not visually distinctive, his position matches this small cluster. JH made the single observation "A double star. The chief of a poor cl." His position matches HJ 1644 (SAO 5080), which is 4' east of the faint but rich section. Perhaps he failed to resolve these stars?

400/500mm - 17.5" (8/10/91): about 20 stars in a 3' field. Faint but fairly rich, most stars very faint. Superimposed over unresolved background haze. The two brightest mag 12 stars are at the SW and NE corners. A rich string of very faint mag 14-15 stars oriented NW-SE is in the center as well as two mag 13 stars.
