IC 3850 (= PGC 43702)
Discovered (Mar 21, 1903) by Max Wolf (5-55)
A magnitude 14.8 lenticular galaxy (type S0/a?) in Canes Venatici (RA 12 52 39.6, Dec +40 06 11)
Based on a recessional velocity of 7870 km/sec, IC 3850 is about 365 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 0.85 by 0.55 arcmin, it is about 90 thousand light years across.
