NGC 2750 (= PGC 25525)
Discovered (Mar 11, 1785) by
William Herschel
A 12th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sc) in Cancer (RA 09 05 48.0, Dec +25 26 15)

Based on recessional velocity of 2675 km/sec, about 120 million light years away, in good agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 125 million light years. Given that and apparent size of 1.9 by 1.5 arcmin, about 65 thousand light years in diameter.
