Gravitational Lensing is something I've been interested in for a while so it was great listening to a Astronomy Cast episode on the topic.

I spend much of my time as an amateur astronomer taking long exposures of faint galaxy clusters, just for the fun of it, to see what I can see, see how many galaxies I can identify, see what is out there in the distant universe, etc.

In one image I captured a galaxy which to my eye looks like it is lensed. I have no scientific backing to the thought at all - it just looks odd while all other galaxies in the FOV appear normal. It is curved like a banana, like it is curved around a point in space.

Does anyone know if there is a catalogue of known lensed objects or the like that I could search for this galaxy?

The galaxy in question is PGC 96819 and the image in question is here (click image to see larger):
