That looks like a good one, what do you think @ine.
Not in the TNS, RBS, JST, and the minor bodies database.
Not even in SIMBAD and NED!
Looks like an unreported candidate

Great! I already drank the champagne! Cheers!
I am curious to know how far away it is.
Almost certainly - nice spot. Sadly I can’t find any distance data on this galaxy.

The DR9 photo-z estimate (z=0.085) put it at a light travel time of 1.1 billion years (using the trusty ol’ cosmology calculator)

That’s a cool calculator - thank you. How did you get the photo-z estimate?
