Below the horizon.  Never rises today
Alt: -82.12°   Az: 111.79°   Direction: East-South-East

IC 2082 NED01 is a Elliptical/Spiral Galaxy in the Dorado constellation. IC 2082 NED01 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 12.79, IC 2082 NED01 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

The image below is a photograph of IC 2082 NED01 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel. The area of sky represented in the image is 0.5000x0.5000 degrees (30.00x30.00 arcmins).
