An inspection of National Geographic-Palomar Sky Atlas prints revealed a spiral galaxy NGC 5297 and a smaller companion galaxy NGC 5296. A quasar of redshift 0.963 was spectroscopically determined to be in the vicinity of the companion galaxy. In addition, deep photographic plates of the system obtained later revealed a luminous extension from the companion pointing to the quasar. A compact, disturbed galaxy of redshift 25,900 km/s (that of the other two galaxies is about 2500 km/s) was found to be interacting with NGC 5296.
