8h55 sounds right to me - it is north of the sun, about 48 deg declination so well above the horizon in the north while to sun trundles along below the horizon
Yeah, had a second check, just east of the sun at the moment but a long way north so visible after sunset.
From When do you reckon it was visible against the sky?
