Stephane Javelle discovered IC 128 = J. I-65, along with IC 129, on 3 Jan 1891. He noted "faint, round, with stellar nucleus" and measured an accurate position. The MCG incorrectly equates -02-04-062 with IC 128 instead of MCG -02-04-063.

600/800mm - 24" (10/1/16): at 375x; very faint, small, round, 15" diameter. IC 128 is the fainter of a pair with IC 129 2.6' SE. IC 128 appears distorted on the DSS with a tidal plume to the northwest.
