NGC 2805
NGC 2805 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 83 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 82,000 ly, about 82% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,699 km/s.

Because its light is 83 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2805 as it looked roughly 83 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.
