OK. I forgot my usual postscript “I could be completely wrong”. However, I’ll stick with the ‘Wild West’ down Mexico way. We’re looking for a place where Rigel is a touch above Alnilam at altitude about 30° just after PM twilight. I’m assuming they’ll be in bed just before AM twilight. After fiddling around with ‘Smiley Face Mr Navigator’ for far too long this turns out to be around 28N, which intersects the Rio Grande quite nicely. The only problem is the girls down there tend to have black hair, so as a parting shot, I thought I’d better Google Delores and Bernard at the same time. Frank, you must have time on your hands watching films like that, but I see the lady appears with bandoliers in something called Westworld. Dave P
