NGC0654 Observation Details
NGC0654 Daily Motion
NGC0654 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 56 degrees over time. You can find the best times to observe NGC0654, when it reaches its highest elevation, in the annual motion section.NGC0654 will be visible until April, 3, 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.
