γ-Per (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Cambridge , γ-Per is difficult to observe as it will appear no higher than 17° above the horizon. It is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 20:59 (EDT), 17° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 21:19 when it dips 15° above your north-western horizon. At 04:18, it will return to an altitude of 15° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 15° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 04:21.
