    Blue edge-on galaxy next to IC1101

    While looking for new objects to observe by scanning the Sloan Digital Sky Survey...I ran across this blue edge-on galaxy. Then I looked at the DSS and it was right there. It is right below IC 1101.

    Has anyone seen this one?

    Edit: Changed from Gravitational arc to flat galaxy as I stand corrected. I didn't look at the z values from NED - just got too excited.

    BTW, IC 1101 is the largest known galaxy.
