Description

NGC 2185 is a Nebula in the Monoceros constellation. NGC 2185 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.
NGC 2185 is a Reflection Nebula located in the constellation of Monoceros in the equatorial region. NGC 2185 is called NGC 2185 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work. NGC 2185 is not a Messier Object and doesn't have a Messier Number.NGC 2185's location is 06 10 00.0 (R.A.) and -06 12 00 (Dec.). They are celestial equivalents of Longitude and Latitude. The right ascension (longitude) is the angular distance of an object along the celestial equator from the March Equinox. As a rough guide, the March Equinox is located in the constellation of Pisces. If the number is negative, it is "west" of the March Equinox.

The declination (latitude) is the reflection nebula's angle from the celestial equator. A negative value indicates it is in the southern hemisphere.Based on the location of Monoceros, NGC 2185 can be located in the equatorial region of the celestial sky. The celestial hemisphere is equivalent to the hemispheres on Earth. As NGC 2185 is in the equatorial region, it can be seen in both terrestrial hemispheres, but there is a caveat depending on how far south and north you are. NGC 2185 is south of the Ecliptic. The Ecliptic is the path the Earth takes as it orbits the Sun. As the Earth is titled, we have Celestial and Ecliptic hemispheres.
NGC 2182 is a Reflection Nebula located in the constellation of Monoceros in the equatorial region. NGC 2182 is called NGC 2182 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work. NGC 2182 is not a Messier Object and doesn't have a Messier Number.
NGC 2183 is a HII Ionized region in the Monoceros constellation. NGC 2183 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.
