NGC 1310 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Fornax.[2] It was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on 22 October 1835.[4]

At a distance of 72 million light-years (22 Mpc) away from the Sun,[3] NGC 1310 is a member of the Fornax A subgroup of the Fornax Cluster of galaxies.[1]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 1310: SN 1965J was discovered by Gibson Reaves on 31 August 1965.[5][6] It was about 14 arcseconds east and 7 arcseconds south of the center of the galaxy.[7]
