  NGC 3067 is in northern Leo, directly above the top of the Sickle asterism.  I saw just a hint of visibility at 76x, however moving up to 123x made it definitely visible with averted vision and after a short time I think I was able to see it using direct vision.  I could not detect any core or a concentration toward the center, but I thought I could tell that it had an orientation.  Locating this galaxy was not easy ~ it is situated quite a ways away from any bright stars or obvious pattern.
