NGC 2826

NGC 2826 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Lynx about 295 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 130,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 6,263 km/s.

Because its light is 295 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2826 as it looked roughly 295 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.
