  1. This would depend on where you are located -- north or south of the equator

    assume your south of the equator - you would not be able to see Cygnus during the winter


  2. All of these constellations can be seen during winter from where I live, in the New York area.

    Cassiopeia is circumpolar.  It can be seen any night of the year from 41 degrees North latitude.

    Orion is the quintessential winter constellation for northern observers, high in the winter evening skies.

    Lyra and Cygnus are usually thought of as summer constellations, but they set in early evening during the winter.  I can see Lyra low in the northwest on January evenings, and Cygnus sets just after dark in February.  Also, they're early morning constellations during February and March.

  3. From what hemisphere?

  4. Asking the same question over and over is a violation of the Yahoo rules.  



  5. In the Northern skies, depending upon when u are looking ( morn or eve ) in the eve it would be Lyra and Cygnus. These 2 would be morning constellaions during the winter months.

  6. From which hemisphere
