Copeland's Blue Snowball (NGC7662) Observation Details
NGC7662 Daily Motion
NGC7662 will rise before twilight begins, at 12:28, and will reach 47° elevation by the time twilight commences at 17:37. It will reach its transit at 85° by 21:25 and gradually fade away as the night ends at 04:13, maintaining an elevation of around 17°.NGC7662 will be visible until February, 23, when it will move too close to the Sun.
