NGC6572 Observation Details

NGC6572

NGC6572 Daily Motion

NGC6572 will rise before twilight begins, at 20:18, and will reach 22° elevation by the time twilight commences at 22:11. It will reach its transit at 57° by 02:40 and gradually fade away as the night ends at 04:49, maintaining an elevation of around 46°.
NGC6572 will be visible until November, 25, 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.
