χ Carinae (chi Carinae)
χ Carinae is a variable sub-giant star in the constellation of Carina.
χ Carinae visual magnitude is 3.47. Because of its moderate brightness, χ Carinae should be easily visible from locations with dark skyes, while it can be barely visible, or not visible at all, from skyes affected by light pollution.
The table below summarizes the key facts about χ Carinae:
χ Carinae (chi Carinae) is below the horizon from Greenwich, United Kingdom .
Altitude: -53.6°
Azimuth: 242.8°
Direction: West-South-West
Celestial coordinates and finder chart of χ Carinae
