Albert Marth discovered NGC 7567 = m 551 on 3 Nov 1864 and noted "eeF, vS, E." His position is 1' too far south.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/19/90): very faint, very small, very elongated 4:1 WSW-ENE. A mag 12.5 star is off the ENE end [1.2' from center]. NGC 7551 lies 13' NW and NGC 7540 is 24' WNW.

600/800mm - 24" (12/20/17): at 375x; faint or fairly faint, very elongated ~4:1 WSW-ENE, ~40"x10", very weak concentration. Two mag 12.5 stars are 1' SE and 1.2' ENE A mag 10.7/13.7 pair at 8" is 2.8' NW. NGC 7567 is the brightest in a small group (WBL 702 at z = .015).

CGCG 454-017, 3' ENE, appeared very faint, very small, round, 15" diameter, no other visible details.

CGCG 431-030, 7' SSE, appeared faint, small, irregularly round, 20" diameter, slightly brighter nucleus.

CGCG 454-019, 7' NE, appeared faint to fairly faint, elongated 5:2 SW-NW, ~40"x15", broad weak concentration. A mag 14.8 star is 50" NNE.
