ρ-Cas (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Cambridge , ρ-Cas is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 20:19 (EDT), 19° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 20:24 when it dips 18° above your north-western horizon. At 03:22, it will return to an altitude of 18° above your north-eastern horizon, and reach an altitude of 29° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:14.
