η-Cas (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Columbus , η-Cas is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 21:04 (EDT), 22° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 22:00 when it dips 16° above your north-western horizon. At 04:55, it will return to an altitude of 16° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 23° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 06:03.
