General Navigation USCG Question #1423 (Set 45)

At evening stars, the last stars that should be observed are those with an azimuth in what quadrant?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Western

During evening twilight, the sun sets in the west, causing the western sky to remain bright longer than the eastern sky. Consequently, stars in the western quadrant are the last to become visible against the fading light, making them the final candidates for observation during the evening star sight sequence.
