  1. About 77 degrees. I leave it to you to figure out why.


  2. The first answer is correct, about 77 deg.

  3. And what is the minimum? It is just about circumpolar

  4. Altitude of N(north pole) in London is its latitude, 51d 30'. Co-latitude of Vega is 51d 12'.  

    Hence max. altitude (at London) of Vega

    =180d - (51d 30' + 51d 12') = 77d 18'
