Herbert Howe discovered IC 5122 = Ho. II-13 on 17 Sep 1898 and noted "vF, eS. Near [NGC] 7103 and 7104." He added a note "No. 13 is in the same field with 7103, 7104, and [IC 5124]. These five objects have all been seen in one night". MCG misidentifies -04-51-006 as being IC 5122 instead of NGC 7103. This error is repeated in the PGC, NED and HyperLeda.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/13/90): extremely faint, very small, round, cannot hold steadily with averted. Faintest of four in ACO S963 and forms the west vertex of an equilateral triangle with NGC 7103 4.2' SSE and NGC 7104 4.2' ESE. IC 1393 lies 6.5' E.
