ν²-Dra (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Fairfield , ν²-Dra is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 17:38 (EST), 46° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 21:12 when it dips 19° above your north-western horizon. At 05:27, it will return to an altitude of 19° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 20° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:36.
