BR 1202-0725, also known as Q1202-0725, is a quasar with a redshift (z) of 4.69, which means it is about 12 billion light years from Earth. As you pointed out, its location in the sky is in the constellation Virgo, at direct ascension 12h05m23.1s and declination -07°42'32" (2000). In addition, images of BR 1202-0725 taken with the Takahashi Mewlon 210 F11.5 telescope and QHY268M Pro camera may help in additional study and analysis of this quasar.
