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]
