ρ-Sco (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From Cambridge , ρ-Sco is difficult to observe as it will appear no higher than 18° above the horizon. It is visible between 00:43 and 02:11. It will become accessible at around 00:43, when it rises to an altitude of 17° above your southern horizon. It will reach its highest point in the sky at 01:27, 18° above your southern horizon. It will become inaccessible at around 02:11 when it sinks below 17° above your southern horizon.
