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.[6][5]

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