From South El Monte , Shakhbazian 138 is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 17:47 (PST), 29° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 19:11 when it dips 21° above your north-western horizon. At 04:17, it will return to an altitude of 21° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 30° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:43.
