Viewing Constellations from Nassau
I have no idea where to post this, so I hope this is the right place
Has anyone see (or looked for) the Constellation Crux, (the Southern Cross) while on a cruise towards the Bahamas?
I know it is a constellation from the southern hemisphere, but in the summer, you can see it from the northern hemisphere when you are south of latitude 30 degrees. Port Canaveral is at the 28th parallel, Cococay is at the 25th Parallel and Nassau is almost at the 24th parallel.
I am going to try to look for it while we are on our cruise, but I have no idea which direction to look. One would assume "South", but that is not necessarily true.
If anyone has seen this constellation, can you please let me know where on the ship (about what time, too) were you and where did you see it?
