NGC4678 Observation Details
NGC4678 Daily Motion
NGC4678 will be visible throughout the entire night. It will rise at 18:45, just before twilight begins, and will be at 27° when twilight starts at 21:10. It will reach its transit at 48° at 00:30, and will fade away as twilight ends at 05:50, being at 5° elevation.NGC4678 will be visible until July, 13, 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.
