NGC 7610 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. Discovered by Andrew Ainslie Common in August 1880, it was accidentally "rediscovered" by him the same month, and later given the designation NGC 7616.[3]

Supernova

One supernova has been observed in NGC 7610: SN 2013fs (Type II-P, mag. 16.5) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 7 October 2013.[4][5] It was detected approximately 3 hours after the light from the explosion reached Earth, and within a few hours optical spectra were obtained - the earliest such observations ever made of a supernova.[2]
