Well not quite - about 5 degrees off the zenith. But Castor went straight through the zenith tonight!!
That's the view, anyway, from Northern Israel. Between overcast and rain showers, I've been peeking up - in very light-polluted skies. However, it is so strange to my mind. What's Betelgeuse doing at the top of Orion??
I only have my eyes to use, and no chance of dark skies, but I cannot wait to get a clear view to the North to see the constellations that I might have seen on previous visits to the Northern hemisphere, but that was before my interest developed and I actually learnt about them!
Bit on the cool side too, after the recent temperatures in Melbourne!
