NGC 7745

NGC 7745 is a galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 824 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 160,000 ly, about 1.6 times the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 824 million years ago.

Because its light is 824 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7745 as it looked roughly 824 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.
