Well done.

Translated from here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGC_43526

LEDA/PGC 43526 (also NGC 4731A)
is a Hubble-type irregular galaxy in the constellation Virgo on the ecliptic.
It is estimated to be 63 million light-years from the Milky Way
and about 35,000 light-years across.[2]
Together with NGC 4731, it forms the bound galaxy pair Holm 472.

Cheers, That is a strange-looking object indeed. Being twisted in this part of the sky is the norm.
