Below the horizon.  Never rises today
Alt: -32.37°   Az: 158.14°   Direction: South-South-East

NGC 2193 is a Globular Cluster in the Dorado constellation. NGC 2193 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 13.42, NGC 2193 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

The image below is a photograph of NGC 2193 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).
