NGC 2829 is a lenticular galaxy of the Hubble type S0 in the constellation Lynx in the northern sky . It is an estimated 316 million light years away from the Milky Way and forms a gravitationally bound duo with SDSS J091931.13 + 333852.0 .
The object was discovered on March 13, 1850 by George Johnstone Stoney , an assistant to the astronomer Lord Rosse . Since the position of the "eF" galaxy is not very precisely specified by Stoney, there are three candidates that receive some consideration in the vicinity of the given position.
