NGC2254 Observation Details
NGC2254 Daily Motion
NGC2254 will not be observable tonight. It will reach its transit at 58° by 19:41 and set at 02:06. Throughout the night, from 02:53 to 06:21, it will be below the horizon. NGC2254 will rise again after sunrise, at 13:12.NGC2254 will be visible until April, 29, 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.
