Another (Possible!) ring galaxy in the southern sky is PGC 12706 ( alias ESO 301-011) which is not far from N1316.

Here is the GALEX (far ultraviolet plus near ultraviolet) image of ESO 301-011:

I do recall seeing this intriguing little galaxy more clearly in an image of NGC1316 taken by Martin Pugh.
