Harold Corwin
IC 5065 is from Swift's final list of nebulae published in 1899. This object carries the date 8 September 1897, and a description that reads "vF, pS, R, 8m * in margin of field n." That final comment identifies the galaxy as ESO 463-G030 1.5 minutes of time east and 1.3 arcminutes south of Swift's position as the object he saw. There are no other objects in the area that he could have seen that have the bright star to the north.
