NGC 7434

NGC 7434 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 372 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 66,000 ly, about 66% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 372 million years ago.

Because its light is 372 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7434 as it looked roughly 372 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.
