Helix Nebula (NGC7293): Rise, Set, Nighttime Path
NGC7293 Daily Motion
NGC7293 rise at 17:08, and will be at 22° when twilight starts at 19:40. It will reach its transit at 29° at 21:53, and will set at 02:38, before twighlight ends at 06:52.NGC7293 will be visible until January, 1, 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.

NGC7293 Image Gallery
DSS Blue
These images are valuable for highlighting the presence of younger, hotter stars, which emit more light in the blue wavelengths.
DSS Red
These images are excellent for detecting older, cooler stars, as well as emission nebulae, which glow primarily in the red due to hydrogen alpha emissions.
DSS Near-Infrared
These images can penetrate dust clouds that obscure visible light, revealing structures and objects hidden within.
DSS Composite image
DSS Color images are composite images created by combining the blue, red, and often near-infrared images to produce a full-color representation.
The photos are taken from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2), which was produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) under NASA contract, using data from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and the National Geographic Society-Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS II).
Special thanks to the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, and the California Institute of Technology for their significant contributions.
