When can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?

It rises a little after midnight. I was at a dark sky site last Wednesday, and saw the flame nebula and the horse head in a 22" (558 mm) scope. These are in Orion, by the way.



Where in Michigan are you? In South East Michigan, there are more than a half dozen astronomy clubs. Send me email, and i can get you in touch with a group doing observing for free near you. (I'd send you email, but, well, i can't).

When can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?I think in the winter monthsWhen can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?
try looking in the sky!When can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?In the fall/winter, early evening.



Right now, about 9 pm. When can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?
I live in Southeast michigan and I can see it year round..it just changes position in the sky from season to season.When can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?Tonight Orion will clear the eastern horizon in Detroit around midnight, and will be visible the rest of the night.



[Edit] Several answers are wrong. Orion is located on the celestial equator so is not visible all night, nor visible all year long. Not in Michigan, and not anywhere on Earth. It is a winter constellation.When can you see the constellation Orion in Michigan?
usually at night
Look Southeast after sunset in the evening. It's low this time of year but should be visible just over your neighbor's rooftops. It's a bit higher in the winter, maybe 45 or 50 degrees above the horizon.
