NGC 3247 - HII Ionized region in Carina
NGC 3247 is a HII Ionized region in the Carina constellation. NGC 3247 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern emisphere.
- NGC 3247 is below the horizon from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change]. See also rise and set times.
- Given its visual magnitude of 7.6, NGC 3247 is visible with the help of a binocular with a 40-50mm aperture or a small telescope.
