NGC 328

NGC 328 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Phoenix about 342 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 240,000 ly, about 2.4 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,810 km/s.

Because its light is 342 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 328 as it looked roughly 342 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.
