NGC 1282 is an elliptical galaxy [2] located about 230 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] It was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 23, 1884. [5] NGC 1282 is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [5] [6]

A type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008fh was detected near NGC 1282 [7] on either July 30, [7] [8] or August 30, 2008. [9] [10] Oddly, though, the supernova was not associated with the galaxy. [8]
