NGC 6319

NGC 6319 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Draco about 382 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 130,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 382 million years ago.

Because its light is 382 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6319 as it looked roughly 382 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.
