NGC 420
NGC 420 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 233 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 93,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,974 km/s.

Because its light is 233 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 420 as it looked roughly 233 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.
