In round numbers 40° N 82° W with Hc star pair at 18° 40' and Sun 13° 30' below horizon. I guess that's someplace in Ohio around 22:00 daylight savings time (ZD +4).

An equal altitude puzzle

On May 19, 2013 at 02:00:00 GMT (local date May 18), I observe the altitudes of the stars Procyon and Capella. The altitudes are exactly the same, but I'm not going to tell you the actual numerical value. Where are you? There is a specific locus of points where you might be found. Note: both stars are at least 1° above the horizon, and the Sun is at least 6° below the horizon.

PS: I added degree symbols, °, to this post using 'd' in square brackets as I described in an admin post two days ago. That is, you type ° but with a lower case d, and it will be converted automatically to a degree symbol. Just a shortcut. Works when you post from the message boards and also when posting by email.
