I think even these figures are generous. The lowest I've seen was M4 with my 12". It was at ~3 degrees, and quite faint. Not quite averted, but not a steady object.



One of the funny ones I have is Messier 8 at an altitude of 3° 49' with the sun only -11° below horizon the horizon. And it wasn't all that bad!
