Arlene, I am not exactly sure where assos is, but the uncertainty
is only a degree of latitude( 110Km) so the following applies.
Get up to your roof about 1am( Greek time) November 18, by whick time the sickle
of Leo will be 20 degrees elevation in the East. You can look until
astronomical twilight at 5:37 Greek standard time. The morning of the
November 19, is for us at longitudes around 140E.
