IC 3450 (= PGC 89616)
Discovered (1903) by
Max Wolf
A 16th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S0?) in Coma Berenices (RA 12 31 25, Dec +26 47 46)

Based on recessional velocity of 6945 km/sec, about 310 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.45 by 0.3 arcmin, about 40 thousand light years in diameter.
