Located in the southern constellation of Pavo, the peculiar barred spiral galaxy IC 4705 (type SB(s)a? pec) exhibits a heavily distorted structure. Discovered in 1900 by DeLisle Stewart, it features distinct tidal tails or "streamers" stretching from its core, vivid indicators of past gravitational interactions with its diverse neighbors, the elliptical IC 4704 and the fine spiral IC 4712.
