I had a beautiful view of the night sky from AZ last night. About 9pm the Dipper was taking its prime position as Cepheus* (Horus imo) dipped out of sight. To the east you could see Arcturus and Spica rising (the hippo and croc imo), and in the west, the setting of Orion (Osiris). Pretty much the most sacred position of the sky for those dedicated to Setesh. My previous data taken from Thebes in 3000 BCE had it taking this position in March, but now it seems to align rather well with May Eve (due to the precession of the equinox).
Make sure to get out there this month and look up!
