The Garnet Star (μ-Cep)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From South El Monte , the Garnet Star is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 18:24 (PST), 30° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 20:12 when it dips 17° above your north-western horizon. At 05:06, it will return to an altitude of 17° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 21° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:44.
