NGC 7513 Galaxy 

Picture
NGC 7513 in Sculptor

is a 'peculiar' barred spiral galaxy, type-(R')SB(s)b pec.
At a distance of 62,500,000 light-years, and 75,000 ly across, it was discovered by Albert Marth in 1864.
NGC 7513 is a gorgeous member of the NGC 7507 Group. Note the many background galaxies in the field! 

Many thanks go out to my collaborator and friend, Mike Selby, who acquired and calibrated this fine data.
