In mid of January Auriga culminates at about 22 h local time
(see lines). For observers
at geographic latitude 40o north it goes right through the zenith.
The position is in the galactic plane and so it offers a wealth of
interesting objects like Open Star Clusters
and Emission Nebulae. The brightest star is Capella (alpha Aurigae, 0.1 mag),
visible in the upper right from the center.
