When to view your star with SLOOH
To determine when your star will
be visible through SLOOH's online telescopes you need
to use your star's constellation as a guide: Your star
certificate displays the name of the constellation in
which your star is located.

Note: While this
table shows you when you can observe your star through
SLOOH's online telescopes, this table does
not show you when you can observe your star through
your own telescope!
When (or even if) you can see a
particular star with your own telescope depends not
just on the time of year, but also on your location
on Earth. SLOOH's telescopes are located in specific
locations on Earth: The table above reflects those specific
locations -- but NOT your location on Earth!
Because you use SLOOH's telescopes online, where you
live when you're using SLOOH does not affect the table
above.
So, if all you're interested in
is determining when you can see your star through SLOOH,
use the table above.
But if you want to use your
own telescope to view your star, then that's a
completely different story! To find out what
