θ-Dra (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Fairfield , θ-Dra is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 17:38 (EST), 35° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 20:30 when it dips 17° above your north-western horizon. At 03:10, it will return to an altitude of 17° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 32° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:36.
