NGC3184 is a dimmed spiral galaxy positioned at only 45 arc minutes west of mu Ursae Majoris that forms the tip of Big Bear's one of hind legs.
It's almost on a boundary on Leo Minor. The galaxy has a visual brightness of 10.5, but it looks fainter than this magnitude so it's fairly difficult to distinguish its detailed structure through telescopes.
Though this picture is a bit noisy, you can see NGC3184 as a typical face-on galaxy and two arms coiled up loosely.
And the galaxy is about 7 arc minutes in diameter.
