now just before dawn the pointer stars in Ursa Major are to low to find but Cassiopia is sitting in her chair to the right.

Gnomon - time to move on

From where I am, Ursa Major is always visible, at all times of the year. These days it is very high in the sky when I go out at about 12:30, while Cassiopeia is down behind the trees.

Because we don't yet have the keys to h2g2 towers. Once the site transitions to a new server then Gnomon will be one of the people taking over the reins from Sam and Chris.
