IC 1296 is an extremely faint barred spiral galaxy of Hubble-type SBbc in the constellation Lyra in the northern sky. It is estimated to be 238 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 97,000 light-years in diameter.[1] It was discovered by Edward Emerson Barnard on October 2, 1893.[2]
IC 1296 is only 4 arc minutes away from the well-known Ring Nebula in the night sky.[3] Planetary nebulae and galaxies are rarely observed together because planetary nebulae are galactic objects and are concentrated toward our galactic center, where extragalactic objects – such as distant galaxies – are rarely observed due to absorption by gas and dust.
Supernova
[edit]One supernova has been observed in IC 1296: SN 2013ev (Type II, mag. 17.2) was discovered by the Italian Supernovae Search Project (ISSP) on 11 August 2013.[4][5][6]
