This is around 9:15 April 2 looking east from my patio. I have a clear view from about 20 degrees altitude at 72 degrees az(ENE). Anything above 30 degrees alt is clear to the east and below that from maybe 60 degrees to 85 degrees – so really more ENE than due E.
To the south above my roofline at azimuth 171(SSE) I have a clear view above about 35 degrees altitude but it starts to be blocked by my gazebo around AZ 215(SW).
I should have a good shot the Markarian chain of galaxies in virgo which show up to night at ALT 38, AZ around 111.
