The group was discovered by British astronomer Ralph Copeland in 1874. The location of Copeland's Septet is right ascension 11h 37m 50s / declination +21° 59′ (2000.0), about three degrees northwest of third magnitude star 93 Leonis.
The redshift of the brightest member, NGC 3753 places Copelands Septet as a part of the Coma Supercluster.
