NGC1342 Observation Details
NGC1342 Daily Motion
NGC1342 will rise before twilight begins, at 15:58, and will reach 11° elevation by the time twilight commences at 17:14. It will reach its transit at 90° by 00:19 and gradually fade away as the night ends at 04:29, maintaining an elevation of around 41°.NGC1342 will be visible until April, 11, when it will move too close to the Sun. During this time, its proximity to the Sun will cause it to disappear from the night sky, making it unobservable for a while.
