I've never seen it either and would love to. From what latitude can it be seen sufficient enough to be clear of the gunky atmosphere off the horizon and still be clearly resolved,in the northern hemisphere? Anybody tried this while heading south into Mexico from the U.S.? I've never seen the star Canopus either,but believe that can be had low on the horizon around Christmas time from Southern Arizona and New Mexico. Is this so?

I've never seen Alpha Centauri but have seen Canopus from Joshua Tree National Park. It glowed really beautiful low in the horizon in March at dusk; reminds me of a somewhat brighter Capella.
The southern sky is quite a treat; too bad the US is too far north to see much of it.
