IC 132 - HII Ionized region in Triangulum
IC 132 is a HII Ionized region in the Triangulum constellation. IC 132 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere.
- IC 132 is above the horizon from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change]. Its current altitude is 4° above the horizon. See also rise and set times.
- Given its visual magnitude of 14.82, IC 132 is visible with the help of a telescope havng an aperture of 20 inches (500mm) or more.
