About NGC 3195
NGC 3195 (C109) is catalogued as a planetary nebula in Chamaeleon. Its J2000 position is RA 10:09:21, Dec -80:58:36, corresponding to 152.3371 degrees RA and -80.8585 degrees Dec. The local catalogue places it about 5,400 light-years away. Its referenced angular extent is approximately 0.67 by 0.67 arcminutes.
Observing tips
StarWatchr rates this as a hard target at magnitude 10.6. It is associated with winter observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around February. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 0 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
Because it is faint, use a larger aperture where possible, avoid bright Moon conditions, and use averted vision.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is PN. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 122 bibliographic references.
At roughly 0.7 arcminutes across, it benefits from a narrower field and adequate image scale. Use the listed 0.67 by 0.67 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
