IC 5174 is a barred spiral galaxy in constellation Grus. It was discovered in year 1899, by DeLisle Stewart.[3] The interacting galaxy pair IC 5174/75 has drawn attention, due to an angular size for IC 5174 that is disproportionate to its brightness.[4] A preliminary investigation of this peculiar system is given, based on two ESO Schmidt plates and digital spectra of the two galaxies.[4]

The two long outer arms of IC 5174 measure approximately 300 kpc[4]
