NGC 1268 is a spiral galaxy located about 147 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Perseus.[3] It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, 1863.[4] NGC 1268 is a member of the Perseus Cluster[5][4] and appears to show signs of distortion in the form of bridges.[5] These features may be the result of a strong interaction with NGC 1267.[5][4]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 1268. SN 2008fg (Type Ia, mag. 18.8) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) on August 30, 2008.[6][7]
