NGC2451 Daily Motion
NGC2451 will not be observable tonight. It will reach its transit at 12° by 12:57 and set at 16:13. Throughout the night, from 00:21 to 05:17, it will be below the horizon. NGC2451 will rise again after sunrise, at 09:37.NGC2451 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.

NGC2451 Image Gallery
DSS Blue

These images are valuable for highlighting the presence of younger, hotter stars, which emit more light in the blue wavelengths.
DSS Red

These images are excellent for detecting older, cooler stars, as well as emission nebulae, which glow primarily in the red due to hydrogen alpha emissions.
DSS Near-Infrared

These images can penetrate dust clouds that obscure visible light, revealing structures and objects hidden within.
DSS Composite image

DSS Color images are composite images created by combining the blue, red, and often near-infrared images to produce a full-color representation.
The photos are taken from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2), which was produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) under NASA contract, using data from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and the National Geographic Society-Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS II).
