This galaxy is the second brightest in AGC 426 and forms the SW vertex of a distinctive parallelogram of brighter galaxies with NGC 1275 5' ENE, NGC 1273 3.1' NNE and NGC 1278/1277 7.5' NE. Also located midway between NGC 1275 and NGC 1270 4.4' WSW. 13" (1/28/84): fairly faint, fairly small, bright core. 8" (1/1/84): extremely faint and small, round.
