Set17:47

Collinder 50 (mag 1.0) is visible in the dawn sky, rising at 02:44 (CEST) – 2 hours and 45 minutes before the Sun – and reaching an altitude of 13° above the eastern horizon before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 04:24.

Rise01:09
Set18:03

M45 (mag 1.3) is visible in the dawn sky, rising at 01:09 (CEST) and reaching an altitude of 24° above the eastern horizon before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 04:17.

Rise16:59
Set06:06

IC4665 (mag 4.2) is visible all night. It will become visible at around 23:51 (CEST), 43° above your southern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 03:22, 24° above your south-western horizon.

Circumpolar

Caldwell 14 (mag 4.3) is visible all night because it is circumpolar. It will be highest in the sky shortly before dawn, when it will be lost to twilight at around 03:22, 50° above your north-eastern horizon. At dusk, it will become visible at around 23:51 (CEST), 28° above your north-eastern horizon.

Set06:55

NGC6633 (mag 4.6) is visible all night. It will become visible at around 23:51 (CEST), 43° above your southern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 00:17, 44° above your southern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 03:22, 30° above your south-western horizon.

Rise17:56
Set07:01

IC4756 (mag 4.6) is visible all night. It will become visible at around 23:51 (CEST), 42° above your southern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness.

Galaxies

Circumpolar

M31 (mag 3.4) is visible all night. It will become visible at around 23:49 (CEST), 26° above your north-eastern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 03:23, 56° above your eastern horizon.

Circumpolar

M81 (mag 6.9) is very well placed – it is close enough to the north celestial pole that it is high above the horizon all night.
