NGC 1344 = NGC 1340 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Fornax . It is an estimated 47 million light years from the Milky Way .
The galaxy was discovered as a nebula by Wilhelm Herschel on October 9, 1790 . In November 1835, John Herschel also observed this object, initially only estimating the position imprecisely and later missing the more precise determination of the coordinates, whereby he did not notice that it had already been recorded. As a result, in the New General Catalog, in addition to NGC 1344 with NGC 1340 , a second entry refers to this object.
