IC 3850 (= PGC 43702)
Discovered (1903) by
Max Wolf
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S?) in Canes Venatici (RA 12 52 40, Dec +40 06 11)

Based on recessional velocity of 7870 km/sec, about 350 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.85 by 0.55 arcmin, about 85 thousand light years in diameter.
