seeing Polaris

Honestly, I'd have to say "How long after sunset can you pick out
Polaris with the unaided eye?

Honestly, I'd have to answer, "Until shortly before sunrise."

How 'bout, "How soon after sunset can you pick out Polaris
with the unaided eye?"

sorry, just playin' along...

btw, did you hear about the man who stayed up all night
waiting to see where the sun went after it sets?

....it finally dawned on him.

Honestly, I'd have to say "How long after sunset can you pick out
Polaris with the unaided eye?" beats it hands down.


The answer to this grammatical type is, "from the time it first appears to
the time it disappears!!!"
So I should have been more clear for the mentally challenged when I first
raised the issue. My appologies.
But, I did get my answer from representatives from the normal side of the
SAA population. Thank you.

Hi the

It depends on where on the earth you live, i.e. your latitude and the time
of year.

At the equator the length of twilight is much shorter than at mid-latitudes
such as Europe or USA.

polar aligning?
The best I seem to do is almost an hour or 50 minutes after sunset.
