IC 3211 (also NGC 4307A ) is a spiral galaxy of the Hubble type Sd in the constellation Virgo on the ecliptic . It is estimated to be 258 million light years from the Milky Way and about 60,000 light years in diameter. Together with NGC 4307, the galaxy forms the optical galaxy pair Holm 380 and is listed under catalog number VVC 526 as part of the Virgo galaxy cluster , but is too far away to be a part of the cluster.
In the same area of the sky are u. a. the galaxies NGC 4316 and IC 3170 .
The object was discovered by Arnold Schwassmann on February 13, 1900 .
