IC 5250 (= PGC 69713)
Discovered (1826) by
James Dunlop
An 11th-magnitude pair of galaxies (type S pec?) in Tucana (RA 22 47 20, Dec -65 03 32)

Based on recessional velocity of 3150 km/sec, about 140 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 2.25 by 1.35 arcmin, about 90 thousand light years across.
