Object name: PGC058928

Designation(s): PGC058928,

PGC58928 is a huge galaxy in Draco about 410 million light years distant. I measure its size at about 180,000 light-years. It is classified by NED as SBb. It has two large outer arms that form a nearly perfect ring making it look a bit like Saturn. Northern skies are poorly surveyed as to galaxies. This field is no exception. While there are many background galaxies in the image I found none with distance information or classification. Thus no annotated version was prepared.
