How long after sunset can you pick out Polaris with the unaided eye
for
polar aligning?
The best I seem to do is almost an hour or 50 minutes after sunset.


Polaris never moves as seen from Earth, it remains in the same location
24
hours a day.


Your comment has NOTHING to do with my question.



In other words, you phrased your question poorly. What you were asking was
how SOON after sunset is it visible, not how long. It is visible all night
long, once it first becomes visible.
