R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Fairfield , Schedar is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 20:10 (EDT), 24° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 21:56 when it dips 14° above your north-western horizon. At 03:48, it will return to an altitude of 14° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 24° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:41.
