IC 471 is an elliptical galaxy of the Hubble type E0 with an active galaxy core in the constellation Lynx in the northern sky . It is about 244 million light years away from the Milky Way and about 45,000 light years in diameter. Presumably it forms a gravitationally bound galaxy pair together with IC 472 .
The object was discovered by Lewis Swift on April 20, 1890 .
