IC 5151 (= PGC 67768)
Discovered (1903) by
Stephane Javelle
A 14th-magnitude pair of galaxies (type ? + ?) in Pegasus (RA 21 58 53, Dec +03 45 41)

Based on recessional velocity of 8440 km/sec, about 375 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.4 by 0.2 arcmin, about 40 thousand light years across.
