κ-Sco (Star)
R/B-band color composite image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 30 arcminutes across.
From South El Monte , κ-Sco is difficult to observe as it will appear no higher than 16° above the horizon. It is visible in the evening sky, becoming accessible around 20:22 (PDT), 16° above your southern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 20:31, 16° above your southern horizon. It will continue to be observable until around 21:48, when it sinks below 14° above your southern horizon.
