NGC 1276 is an optical double star system located in the constellation Perseus. The system was discovered by astronomer John Dreyer on December 12, 1876. The pair consists of two 15th magnitude stars known as Pul -3 270349 and Pul -3 270357 that are unrelated as they lie at different distances from each other. Pul -3 270349 lies at a distance of 1,134.5587 parsecs (3,700.436 ly) and Pul -3 270357 lies at a distance of 1,774.6229 parsecs (5,788.046 ly).

The two stars are about the same size and luminosity as the Sun.
