IC 5250 (A and B) are located 175 million light years away in the constellation of Tucana.

The galaxies are classified as S0 (S0 arms so tight they are not visually separable) and are merging lenticular galaxies. In an updated ARP catalog they would likely be considered peculiar.

Imaged in LRGB on my Planewave CDK 1000 at Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
