R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From South El Monte , 38-UMa is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 20:19 (PDT), 22° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 20:48 when it dips 20° above your north-western horizon. At 04:57, it will return to an altitude of 20° above your northern horizon, and reach an altitude of 22° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:21.
