NGC 3250E - Spiral Galaxy in Antlia

Below the horizon.  Never rises today
Alt: -7.90°   Az: 150.72°   Direction: South-South-East

NGC 3250E is a Spiral Galaxy in the Antlia constellation. NGC 3250E is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 13.19, NGC 3250E 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 3250E 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).
