I ask, because here it is only visible just before dawn. In a few days
we expect to see it at 22:30 hours (20:30 hours solar time).


In north-america it's now visible in the early evening under the Big
Dipper. Magnitude 6 and under a perfect dark sky human eyes can see up
to 8, so it's very faith and it will get dimmer


Thanks. That figures.


I went out last night (7/21) and got a few more shots between the
clouds. Overall, it was harder to spot, even with binoculars
(binos are fairly small .. probably 5 x 20's?)

Pity that the google Sky Map doesn't have it. Stellarium does, but needs
a computer. The laptop is more cumbersome than the phone to carry.


I have a smartphone App "Night Sky" which has it. Its iOS, but
there might be an Android version too.
