NGC 312 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on September 5, 1836 by John Herschel.[2] NGC 312 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 13.4, NGC 312 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.[1]
