M110 is well placed
2019 Oct 1
M110, the brightest satellite galaxy of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) will be well placed for observation. It will reach its highest point in the sky at around midnight local time.
At a declination of +41°41', it is easiest to see from the northern hemisphere but cannot be seen from latitudes much south of 28°S.
From London, it will be visible all night. It will become visible at around 19:58 (BST) as the dusk sky fades, 39° above your eastern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 05:43, 42° above your western horizon.
At magnitude 8.1, M110 is quite faint, and certainly not visible to the naked eye, but can be viewed through a pair of binoculars or small telescope.
The position of M110 is as follows:
Object | Right Ascension | Declination | Constellation | Magnitude | Angular Size |
M110 | 00h40m20s | +41°41' | Andromeda | 8.1 | 22'00" |
The coordinates above are given in J2000.0.
