Lewis Swift discovered IC 5065 = Sw. XII-24 on 8 Sep 1897 and reported "vF, pS, R, 8m * in margin of field n." There is nothing at his position, but 1 min 30 seconds of time further east is ESO 463-030, which fits his description though the star would be well within the boundary of his 33' field. The comment about the 8th mag star was not copied into the IC. MCG doesn't label -05-49-004 as IC 5065.

400/500mm - 18" (7/11/10): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 4:3 ~N-S, 0.7x0.5, sharply concentrated with a small bright core. Situated just 4.1' SSE of a mag 7 star and best viewed with the star removed from the field.
