NGC 1809
NGC 1809 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Dorado about 61 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 66,000 ly, about 66% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,301 km/s.

Because its light is 61 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1809 as it looked roughly 61 million years ago. The photons left before that much of history had passed, and are only now reaching us. This distance is estimated from the galaxy's redshift, so the lookback time is approximate.
