Another galaxy.
I figured that BUT which galaxy is it?

Based on a SIMBAD query, it appears to be uncataloged.

There are many catalogs that list this galaxy. Funny Simbad doesn't. Of the 20 catalogs I found identifying that galaxy, I've listed several of the maybe more familiar ones and the galaxy ID. The IDs that start with a "J" are the J2000 RADec coordinates.
USNO-A2.0 (1998) → 1125-19802822
USNO-B1.0 (2003) → 1185-0599561
NOMAD1 (2005) → 1185-0625599
2MASS Extended Sources (2003 -2006) → 23252974+2830217
ALLWISE (2013) → J232529.77+283021.3
SDSS DR12 (2015) → J232529.77+283021.0
Pan-STARRS DR1 (2016) → 142203513740877647

Thanks, alter-ego, I'm impressed!

Yeah, I didn't do any deep search. SIMBAD is pretty reliable when it comes to consolidating catalogs. I was surprised that such an apparently prominent object wasn't there, but didn't look farther.
