UGCA 320 is a faint irregular galaxy located in the southernmost part of the constellation Virgo.
To find it, it is best to trace about 8 degrees east of δCrv, which forms the northeastern side of the quadrilateral of the constellation Corvus.
With a major axis of 7 arcminutes, it is relatively large among the galaxies scattered in this area.
However, its brightness of 13th magnitude makes it challenging to observe visually.
It is an edge-on irregular galaxy without a clear spiral structure and is believed to be interacting with the small irregular galaxy UGCA 319, located approximately 18 arcminutes to the northwest.
The distance estimated from its redshift is around 30 million light-years.
