Yes, but the head is the brightest part (gamma, mag 2.2 and a couple
of third magnitude stars), lies IIRC between 17hRA and 18hRA and
50ºDec and 60ºDec which therefore pass *directly* overhead between
50ºlat and 60ºlat roughly between 11pm and midnight local time on
that date, or midnight and 1am daylight saving time (such as BST).
