Galaxy at 18 Million Lightyears?

[Zatnikitelman]

I'm working on a bit of a fanfic for Stargate, and need some help. I'm looking for a galaxy that's about 18 million light years away from Earth/the Milky Way. I've scoured the Messier objects and NGC, but can't find an easy to sort by distance or find objects by distance.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Zat

into Excel to sort it. I came up with six candidates all at 17-20Mly:
NGC 4605
NGC 4736/Messier 94
NGC 6503
NGC 3344
NGC 5068
NGC 6946
