IC 3803


IC 3804 (=
NGC 4711 = PGC 43286)
Discovered (May 1, 1785) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 4711)
"Rediscovered" (Mar 21, 1903) by Max Wolf (5-37) (and later listed as IC 3804)
A 13th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SBb) in Canes Venatici (RA 12 48 45.7, Dec +35 19 58)

See NGC 4711 for images


IC 3805


IC 3806 (= PGC 43303)
Discovered (1904) by
Royal Frost
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sa?) in Coma Berenices (RA 12 48 55, Dec +14 54 28)

Based on recessional velocity of 1410 km/sec, about 60 million light years away (although another measurement yields a recessional velocity of 3175 km/sec, which would correspond to a distance of 140 million light years). Combining the 60 million light years distance with its apparent size of 1.65 by 0.6 arcmin, it may be 30 thousand light years in diameter (or more than twice that size, if the larger distance is more accurate).
