NGC 3746 is a large barred spiral galaxy with a ring structure[1] located in the Leo constellation.[2] It is located 449 million light-years from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 165,000 light-years.[3] NGC 3746 was discovered by Ralph Copeland on 9 February 1874 with subsequent observations made by Hermann Kobold, Lawrence Parsons and John Louis Emil Dreyer.[4]
The luminosity class of NGC 3746 is II and it has a broad H II region with a recessed core (RET).[3]
