NGC0129 Observation Details
NGC0129 Daily Motion
NGC0129 is circumpolar, never setting below the horizon and always visible in the night sky from your location. However, it will change its position significantly, moving 60 degrees over time. You can find the best times to observe NGC0129, when it reaches its highest elevation, in the annual motion section.NGC0129 will be visible until March, 19, 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.
