NGC 1961 is a spiral galaxy in constellation Camelopardalis. It is at a distance of circa 200 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that it is more than 220,000 light years across. (wiki).

Also a nice object for my 20 cm Newton and last two nights in 2016, thus my PF2017.
