NGC 4611 is a intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Coma Berenices. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 6,437 ± 22 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 94.9 ± 6.7 Mpc Mpc (∼310 million light-years). [1] It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on 17 May 1881. This galaxy was also observed by the American astronomer Lewis Swift on April 20, 1889 and listed in the Index Catalogue as IC 805. [2]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 4611: SN 2023dtz ( type Ia, mag. 18.1). [3]
