NGC6716 Observation Details
NGC6716 Daily Motion
NGC6716 will be visible throughout the entire night. It will rise at 20:59, just before twilight begins, and will be at 13° when twilight starts at 22:18. It will reach its transit at 30° at 01:48, and will fade away as twilight ends at 04:53, being at 16° elevation.NGC6716 will be visible until September, 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.
