IC1237 (Galaxy)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 10 arcminutes across.
From Fairfield , IC1237 is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 17:37 (EST), 40° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 20:10 when it dips 21° above your north-western horizon. At 05:10, it will return to an altitude of 21° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 24° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:37.
