IC 3600 (= PGC 42161)
Discovered (1903) by
Max Wolf
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S0?) in Coma Berenices (RA 12 37 41, Dec +27 07 46)

Based on recessional velocity of 4635 km/sec, about 210 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.5 by 0.4 arcmin, about 30 thousand light years in diameter.
