Rise: 14h01m Azimuth+14°07'
Culmination: 15h39m +02°13'
Set: 17h18m Azimuth+345°53'

An altitude of +02°13' is 10° below my treeline, and it's only up in daylight.

Chic0, it won't even get above the horizon in the city of endless cloud.

Ron has some chance, but maybe not until it is up at night.
Thanks Andrew, Doh! I forgot to check the time it was in the sky
Just put it down to the crappy weather we are having with no observing being done
Cheers
