NGC2354 Daily Motion
NGC2354 will not be observable tonight. It will reach its transit at 27° by 17:37 and set at 22:09. Throughout the night, from 23:48 to 05:22, it will be below the horizon. NGC2354 will rise again after sunrise, at 13:01.NGC2354 will be visible until January, 1, 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.
