Has anyone ever seen the "Forcade-Figuroa' Object?

I've been hunting for this galaxy for ages, and have NEVER seen it. On SIMBAD it is shown as an impressive looking edge on galaxy, sort of like NGC 4945. It is located just to the northeast of omega Centauri, catalogue no: ESO 270-17.

Anyone successfully hunted this down?
