IC 3150 (= PGC 39673 = PGC 1331163)
Discovered (1899) by
Arnold Schwassmann
A 15th-magnitude galaxy (type S pec?) in Virgo (RA 12 19 29, Dec +07 47 54)

Perhaps the result of a merger between two colliding galaxies. Based on a recessional velocity of 7270 km/sec, about 320 million light years away. Given that and an apparent size of 0.6 by 0.3 arcmins, about 60 thousand light years in diameter.
