NGC2175 Observation Details
NGC2175 Daily Motion
NGC2175 will rise before twilight begins, at 14:12, and will reach 50° elevation by the time twilight commences at 18:32. It will reach its transit at 73° by 21:17 and gradually fade away as the night ends at 04:21, maintaining an elevation of around 0°.NGC2175 will be visible until May, 4, 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.
