Warning: The discussion below, though accurate, is complex, and could be used to support either of the alternative definitions of IC 5250 shown above. Although I have done my best to make things clear, the reader may need to read the discussion more than once to decide what they feel is the most appropriate conclusion.
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, IC 5250 (DeLisle Stewart #768, (Dunlop #255), 1860 RA 22 37 52, NPD 155 49) is "considerably bright, small, round, faint star 0.5 arcmin following (to east)." The position precesses to RA 47 18.0, Dec -65 04 52, about 1.1 arcmin south-southwest of the pair of galaxies listed above, the description more of less fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the usual modern identification of IC 5250 as the pair of galaxies listed above appears certain.
Despite the usual identification of the pair of interacting galaxies as IC 5250, there is some question about whether that designation should belong to the pair, or only one of them. Stewart is often given sole credit for the discovery, and since Stewart's position was not dead-on either of them or between them, his description makes it probable that the "star" noted in his description is one of the galaxies, in which case IC 5250 would be only the one that he saw as nebulous. Taking the IC description at face value, that would make the western galaxy (PGC 69713) IC 5250, and the eastern one merely its interacting companion. However, the eastern galaxy is brighter, and (per a private communication from Corwin) it is possible that Stewart mixed up the directions (an easy thing to do when using an eyepiece for visual observations), and the "preceding" galaxy is the one that looked like a star. To check that possibility, Corwin looked at a high-resolution scan of the original Harvard plate, and states that the eastern galaxy (PGC 69714) is clearly nebulous, while the western one looks like a barely fuzzy star. Given that, IC 5250 should be only PGC 69714, and its western companion merely that. However, all of the above ignores the fact that Dunlop was actually the first observer to see the "nebula" (as indicated by my addition of Dunlop to the discoverers list and Dunlop #255 to Dreyer's IC note in parentheses), and since (as discussed in the next paragraph) Dunlop undoubtedly saw the pair, IC 5250 could be listed as BOTH galaxies, as I have done at the start of this entry.
Dunlop's Observation: Dunlop #255 is described in his catalog as (1827) 22 36 04, SPD 24 01 (= Dec -65 59), "A small round nebula bright at the centre, 10" diameter." Presumably because of that description and the fact that Dunlop's positions were known to be hit and miss, Dreyer assigned it to NGC 7358 as "D 255?". But Dunlop's published position precesses to RA 22 47 45.4, Dec -65 04 31, which is nowhere near NGC 7358, and only 2.9 arcmin east-southeast of IC 5250. Also, per Gottlieb (presumably based on Dunlop's unpublished logbooks), Dunlop's original description of the object was "small faint elliptical nebula in the parallel of the equator, about 25" long and 12" or 15" broad," which is a perfect description of the visual appearance of the pair of galaxies, so although Dreyer apparently forgot his earlier question about D 255 when he wrote the entry for IC 5250, as stated at the end of the previous paragraph, a modern (fully informed) view would be that IC 5250 could be BOTH galaxies.
A Historical Demurral: To compound the confusion about the identification, we should realize that although Dunlop's logbook shows that he observed both galaxies, even if Dreyer had remembered that D 255 might be involved in this case, he would not have had access to Dunlop's logbook, so based on Dunlop's published description he would probably have thought that IC 5250 was a single nebula with a nearby star. So although I have chosen to include both galaxies in the identification of IC 5250 (as is usually done nowadays), historically it would be more accurate to only list the eastern member of the pair as IC 5250, as I have done in the final line of the title of this entry.
Warning About Nonstandard Designations: In general, the addition of a letter to an NGC or IC object's designation (or, for that matter, for ANY galaxy) should be avoided. Such letters are used almost at random, and often cause data belonging to one galaxy to be assigned to a different one. In this case, both HyperLEDA and NED assign "IC 5250A" to the western galaxy and "IC 5250B" to the eastern one, but NED has no PGC designation for the eastern galaxy (though it does note the faint star to the southeast of the nucleus), and the wrong PGC designation for the western one, so only the fact that NED lists the same positions as LEDA suggests that the data from the two sites might be the same. To summarize a painstaking comparison of their data, both sites list both galaxies as lenticular, albeit with slightly different "types", but only LEDA correctly shows that the eastern galaxy is the brighter one; the recessional velocities for the eastern galaxy are different but not greatly so, and the recessional velocities for the western one differ by several hundred km/sec. This was almost certainly caused by their references being slightly different, with some of them undoubtedly referring to the wrong galaxy, a good example of the problems caused by using non-standard designations.
Physical Information: Based on an (estimated) recessional velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation of perhaps 3180 km/sec for the pair of galaxies (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), IC 5250 is about 145 to 150 million light-years away, considerably further than a single redshift-independent distance estimate of about 80 million light-years. Using the recessional velocity distance estimate and an apparent size of about 0.37 by 0.23 arcmin for the central region of PGC 69713 (all apparent sizes are from the Carnegie-Irvine image below), the central part of the western galaxy is a little over 15 thousand light-years along its major axis. For the eastern galaxy (PGC 69714) the apparent size of the central galaxy is about 0.43 by 0.21 arcmin and its extended arms are about 0.87 by 0.77 arcmin in size, which corresponds to a little less than 20 thousand light-years along that galaxy's major axis but 35 to 40 thousand light-years for its extended arms. The overall size of the pair and their outer envelope is about 3.0 by 2.8 arcmin, which corresponds to about 130 thousand light-years.
Classification Notes: For the western galaxy, L stands for "lens", meaning that it has a "lens"-shaped bar; the rest of the description indicates that it is a lenticular galaxy. For the eastern galaxy, the full-size Carnegie-Irvine image has a hint of additional structure inside the central region, whence the (rs?). Usually, "integral-sign" or "S-shaped" lenticulars with spiral arms, such as these, are classified as unusual spirals; but Corwin notes that in the Carnegie-Irvine image they do not exhibit the bluish color typical of such arms, so he feels that each member of the pair should be classified as an unusual lenticular galaxy, as shown in the types that he provided for the description line. However, it should be noted that Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey images deliberately do not show exaggerated colors in the way that, e.g., HST images do, so it is possible that future images may change the classifications (though we can be certain that any future classification will include "peculiar" for each member of the pair).
