  Hello.

  This blue object on the right, what could it be? (RA, Dec 11:51:12.41, -03:04:46.37).

  Nice blue ring. Blue colour looks starforming. I can't find any information, without going into NED, and the titles there don't look useful. Anyone want to look through them?

  It is much closer than the 2 yellow galaxies, if the photoz is correct.

  Usually a ring galaxy has another galaxy nearby which has removed the center of the galaxy. But I don't see another galaxy nearby.

  Can't really find anything either. What caught my eye is the first reference in NED:

  PHOTOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF 48 CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES. I.
  THE BUTCHER-OEMLER EFFECT

  V. E. MARGONINER, AND R. R. DE CARVALHO
  Received 1999 November 30; accepted 2000 January 7

  Which was recently brought to our attention by mlpeck. But does indeed look like an interesting structure / (collisional-) ring galaxy-like.

  Eye-catching object, it is magnificent and generates interesting discussions.

  Thanks for your answers.

  RichardHB please put in
  Objects that need more research https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000004/discussions/DGZ0000ycq

  It might make a good object when a big telescope is available for a quick look.
