H-Dra (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From South El Monte , h-Dra is visible in both the dusk and dawn skies. In the evening, it will become visible at around 17:57 (PST), 19° above your north-western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, becoming tricky to observe after 17:59 when it dips 19° above your north-western horizon. At 02:06, it will return to an altitude of 19° above your northern horizon, and reach an altitude of 41° before fading from view as dawn breaks at around 05:51.
