Édouard Stephan discovered NGC 7276 = St VIII-17, along with NGC 7273 and 7274, on 20 Sep 1876. His micrometric position is very accurate.

400/500mm - 17.5" (8/12/88): faint, very small, round, faint stellar nucleus. A mag 14 star is 26" SE of center. This galaxy is the furthest south of three on a line with NGC 7274 2.4' N and NGC 7273 6.8' NNW.
