Its catalogue position is approximately right ascension 17h 33m and declination -37.1°. These reference coordinates describe its sky location; they are not an observing time or a current altitude.
At the almanac’s default latitude of 45° N, this star rises and sets, reaching approximately 8° altitude at upper culmination. These are geometric calculations from declination, excluding refraction and local obstructions. Darkness and the time of culmination must still be checked for the observing date and your location.
How to find it: Establish the preserved Sco constellation figure from its labeled reference stars, then use the target’s plotted position rather than searching for an isolated star.
Sources: Star Almanack’s stored fixed-object and expanded Bayer catalogues; accepted constellation figures and guiding-star routes. Visibility limits are original geometric calculations from catalogue declination, not weekly predictions.
