| dist_ly = 626 MlyAn object's distance from Earth can be determined using Hubble's law: v=H_o is Hubble's constant (70±5 (km/s)/Mpc). The relative uncertainty Δd/d divided by the distance is equal to the sum of the relative uncertainties of the velocity and v=H_o

NGC 276 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 626 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Frank Muller and was later also observed by DeLisle Stewart.{{cite web|title=New General Catalog Objects: NGC 250 - 299|url=http://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc2a.htm#276|publisher=Cseligman|access-date=October 15, 2016}}

John Dreyer, creator of the New General Catalogue describes the object as "extremely faint, pretty small, extended 265°, 11 magnitude star 3 arcmin to north". The galaxy's right ascension was later corrected in the Index Catalogue using the observation data by Stewart.
