dick_dangerous Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hope you can get to it - it's always behind our house so I have to travel somewhere to see it. It's not all bad though; he used to hide behind the trees at my parent's...DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rory Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 02b3, have you downloaded " stellarium" it's a FREE download and you can see whats where and when at any time. It's excellent . Early evening at the moment the constellation of Orion is south / south west . Be warned "unions belt" can make your eyes water .Clear skies.

todd8137 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Please do not be offended ,but this is another case of not learning your constellations ,and often puts people of once they get a scope look south down load stelarium great bit of soft work but be sure to put your location in and save Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonys Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 As everyone says, look south to south west and the later it is the more westerly and low it will be. Look for three bright stars that are equally spaced and in a straight line and you've found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
