NGC 3301, also known as NGC 3760, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Leo. Its apparent magnitude in the V-band is 11.1. [4] It was first observed on March 12, 1784, by the astronomer William Herschel. [5] It is a member of the Leo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the right edge of the Virgo Supercluster. [6]
