NGC 2196 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Lepus. The galaxy lies about 100 million light years away from Earth based on redshift independent methods, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 2196 is approximately 85,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on November 20, 1784.
NGC 2196 has a bright nucleus surrounded by a large elliptical bulge. Around the bulge lies a low-surface-brightness disk. Spiral arms are visible in the central 30 arcseconds of the disk. The disk has tightly wound spiral arms and the outer arms have a grand design pattern. The outer arms form a pseudoring measuring 1.5 by 1.4 arcminutes. The galaxy is slightly asymmetric.
