NGC2474 Observation Details
NGC2474 Daily Motion
NGC2474 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 74 degrees over time. You can find the best times to observe NGC2474, when it reaches its highest elevation, in the annual motion section.NGC2474 will be visible until June, 12, 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.
