A Tropical perspective.
A very nice rectangle in my NW sky after Sunset.
As you move farther North in latitude, this rectangle rotates counter-clockwise.
By the time you reach Piscataway, N. J. it almost becomes a diamond, with Capella above Venus. Of course you won't see the coconut tree in Piscataway.
Mirfak is Alpha Persei and you can see the distinctive "S" shape of the beautiful α-Persei cluster.
