Where is Lang-Exster?

Times for LondonChange city

Below the horizon from London all the time in Tucana.

Lang-Exster never rises from London: it is too far south in the sky for this latitude.

This is position and timing only: clouds, haze and light pollution aren’t included.

Lang-Exster looks orange to the eye (color is easier to see in binoculars). Its spectral type is K3III: orange giant (cooler than the Sun).

A orange point of light, visible even from many towns when it’s clear.

Brighter, and its orange color is easier to see.

Still a point of light: no amateur telescope shows a star’s surface.

What you’re likely to see, not what a space telescope photographs. General guidance from catalog brightness and size, not a forecast for tonight.
