NGC 4545 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Draco. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 2,850±8 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 137.1 ± 9.6 Mly (42.04 ± 2.95 Mpc).[1] However, 19 non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 118.22 ± 5.34 Mly (36.247 ± 1.637 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 20 March 1790.[3]
