IC 3060 is a spiral galaxy of Hubble type Sab in the constellation Virgo to the ecliptic . It is estimated to be 258 million light years from the Milky Way and about 70,000 light years in diameter. It is listed as a member of the Virgo galaxy cluster under catalog number VCC 129 , since the center of the cluster is about 54 million light years away from us, this is a misjudgment.
In the same area of the sky are u. a. the galaxies NGC 4200 , IC 3052 , IC 3078 , IC 3081 .
The object was discovered by Arnold Schwassmann on September 14, 1900 .
