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.


...or maybe you're just a little dense...

In English, "How long is it visible" means, after it becomes visible, how
long will it be until it is no longer visible.
His poor English, and your rudeness, do not change the meanings of words.
