Galaxy in the constellation Hydra
The SIMBAD database lists NGC 2708 as a Seyfert II galaxy, i.e. a galaxy with a quasar-like nucleus with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 2708: SN 2023bee (type Ia, mag. 17.2621) was discovered by the Distance Less Than 40 Mpc Survey (DLT40) on 1 February 2023.
