NGC2250 Observation Details
NGC2250 Daily Motion
NGC2250 will rise before twilight begins, at 21:57, and will reach 23° elevation by the time twilight commences at 23:58. It will reach its transit at 48° by 03:40 and gradually fade away as the night ends at 04:25, maintaining an elevation of around 46°.NGC2250 will be visible until April, 22, 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.
