I have confused myself and can't fathom something that ought to be dead

If I am at Latitude 51N, how far south can I see (theoretically) in terms
of
declination - or does it vary?

I think I've worked it out, -39 ??

39S.

Yes, Smithy, that is correct....its
your latitude - 90 degrees = -39 Decl in your case.
(I get those mental blocks too....they happen quite
often to us 60+ somethings). ;-)
