Saturn Nebula (NGC7009) Observation Details

NGC7009

NGC7009 Daily Motion

NGC7009 will be visible throughout the entire night. It will rise at 21:14, just before twilight begins, and will be at 9° when twilight starts at 22:05. It will reach its transit at 39° at 02:35, and will fade away as twilight ends at 05:11, being at 27° elevation.
NGC7009 will be visible until December, 16, 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.
