IC 695 - Spiral Galaxy
IC 695 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Crater constellation. IC 695 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.
- IC 695 is above the horizon from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change]. Its current altitude is 26° above the horizon. See also rise and set times.
- Given its B magnitude of 15.5, IC 695 is visible only through long exposure photography.
