Thanks, Frank, with some squinting I do see Cepheus. I also see parts of Draco and think that the fact that Eltanin is just on the horizon and Alahakan is a tad bit higher [2 mm] together with altitude of e-Dra [39 mm] is a good clue to latitude and that would suggest about 2.5 deg south. When I set time to 2023-11-15 00:30 UTC in Stellarium, I get 65.5 W longitude, which seems wrong, given that it is far inland in Brazil, but 2.5S-65.5W is incidentally close to the Amazon river. I know the Amazon is broad, but I suspect I made a mistake somewhere. Thanks - Carsten
