PGC 69759 (= ESO 346-001 = MCG -07-46-011)
A magnitude 13.8 spiral galaxy (type Sd sp / E(d)8) in Grus (RA 22 48 33.9, Dec -39 38 56)

Note About Classification: The type is taken from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies. The "sp" stands for "spindle" (that is, an "edge-on" galaxy), which makes determining the classification more difficult. "/ E(d)8" means that there is an elliptically shaped disklike outer region enveloping the central galaxy; but "true" ellipticals rarely exceed E4 to E5, and in any case, the presence of the outer region does not change the fact that the galaxy is a spiral.

PGC 69874 (= NGC 7393 = Arp 15)

PGC 69956 (with PGC 913872 = Arp 110)
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SABab? pec) in Aquarius (RA 22 54 08.9, Dec -15 14 15)

Apparent size about 0.8 by 0.6 arcmin. Used in the Arp Atlas as an example of an elliptical galaxy (PGC 913872, which see for images) repelling a spiral galaxy's arms.

PGC 913872 (with PGC 69956 = Arp 110)
Listed here because of its relationship to PGC 69956 as part of Arp 110
A 16th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type S0?) in Aquarius (RA 22 54 06.7, Dec -15 14 13)

Apparent size about 0.25 by 0.2 arcmin. Used in the Arp Atlas as an example of an elliptical galaxy repelling a spiral galaxy's (PGC 913872) arms.
