PGC 72000
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S0/a) in Pegasus (RA 23 38 50, Dec +27 12 54)
Part of Abell 2634, the Pegasus II cluster of galaxies. Based on recessional velocity of 9105 km/sec, about 400 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.7 by 0.5 arcmins, about 80 thousand light years in diameter.
The image above shows PGC 71994, 72000, 85579, 85597, and 1801452

PGC 72178
(= ESO 292-014)
A magnitude 13.1 spiral galaxy (type Sd spw / E(d)8-9) in Phoenix (RA 23 42 35.2, Dec -44 54 17)
Note About Classification: The type is taken from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies. The "spw" indicates a "warped spindle", or an edge-on galaxy with a warped disk, while "/ E(d)8-9" indicates that there is an elliptically shaped disklike structure surrounding the spiral (true ellipticals rarely have classifications beyond 4 or 5, so this does not alter the fact that this is a spiral galaxy).

PGC 72301
A 16th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S?) in Pegasus (RA 23 45 07, Dec +25 31 06)
Recessional velocity measurements of 7350 and 11750 km/sec yield distance estimates of 330 and 520 million light years. The latter value is in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 460 to 510 million light years. Given that and apparent size of 1.0 or 0.2 arcmins, about 140 thousand light years in diameter.

A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA(r)0) in Sculptor (RA 23 46 37, Dec -28 42 33)
Based on recessional velocity of 19080 km/sec, about 850 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 1.0 by 0.3 arcmins, about 250 thousand light years in diameter.
