NGC 2300 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cepheus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1876 ± 7 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 90.2 ± 6.3 Mly (27.67 ± 1.94 Mpc). However, 11 non redshift measurements give a distance of 131.98 ± 21.75 Mly (40.464 ± 6.668 Mpc). The galaxy was discovered in 1871 by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly using an 18 cm telescope.
