http://www.winstars.net/english/Which constellation will be rising over the Eastern horizon at sunset on Feb 22?Sunset occurs about a quarter to six local time. The main zodiacal constellation rising almost due east at that time is Leo the Lion. Hydra is also rising, but is dim and unexciting.



I cannot detail a future sky map for you here - it would be long and tedious. In general the constellation will rise in the east heading slightly south and then set in the west once more on a slight northerly track.



Suggest that you get an astronomy program - planetarium software is good - there are a number of free ones you can just download. It will tell you all you need to know once it is set up and running.
