IC 4950 (= PGC 64159)
Discovered (1901) by
DeLisle Stewart
A 14th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (typt SB?(rs)b) in Telescopium (RA 20 08 27, Dec -56 09 43)

Based on recessional velocity of 4330 km/sec, about 195 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 165 to 195 million light years. Given that and apparent size of 1.3 by 0.4 arcmin, about 75 thousand light years in diameter.
