Copeland's Blue Snowball (NGC7662) Observation Details
NGC7662 Daily Motion
NGC7662 will reach its transit before twilight, at 17:53. By the onset of twilight at 18:15, it will be at elevation, and it will set before sunrise, at 03:13.NGC7662 will be visible until February, 24, 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.
