Meridian Pairs: Northern Pointers and Latitude Stars
Sunset, July 7: 7:14 p.m. Sunrise, July 8: 7:37 a.m.
Transit Time (TT) refers to the time when the star crosses the meridian, above or below the celestial poles. For each day before July 7-8, add 4 minutes to the TT; for each day after subtract 4 minutes from the TT. As the stars circle the celestial pole, the star pairs cross the meridian at about the same time and the pairs appear perpendicular to the horizon.
The Altitude (Alt.) of a star at the meridian is the angular distance from the horizon to the star.
Magnitude (Mag.): The smaller the magnitude number, the brighter
the star.
