Ralph Copeland, LdR's assistant, discovered NGC 7767 along with 7766, on 9 Oct 1872 and labeled it Beta in the sketch. He measured the micrometric offset to the mag 12.6 star off the west side. Harold Corwin notes that Bigourdan's IC 1511 is not identical to NGC 7767, as stated by Karl Reinmuth, CGCG and PGC. Instead it refers to a single star 1.8' SSE of NGC 7767.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/20/90): very faint, very small, even surface brightness. A mag 12 star is just off the west edge 20" from the center. This is the second brightest galaxy in AGC 2666 with NGC 7768 3.6' N and NGC 7766 2.5' N.

600/800mm - 24" (8/5/13): faint, fairly small, edge-on 4:1 NW-SE, 30"x8". A mag 12.6 star is just 21" SW of center. Located on the south side of the core of AGC 2666 with NGC 7766 2.4' N and NGC 7768 (brightest member) 3.7' N.
