North America Nebula (NGC7000) Observation Details
NGC7000 Daily Motion
NGC7000 will rise before twilight begins, at 12:19, and will reach 57° elevation by the time twilight commences at 18:38. It will reach its transit at 83° by 21:32 and gradually fade away as the night ends at 03:38, maintaining an elevation of around 24°.NGC7000 will be visible until January, 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.
