eh? I never said the meridian stood on Kochab in 2600 BC. The pole was near Thuban, and in 2600 BC Kochab transcribed a circicle about the North Celestial Pole of about some 9-10 degrees or so.

For what it's worth, according to Skymap Pro, on 21st June, it reached it's highest elevation at 4.02am, 43 minutes before sunrise, some 40 degrees above the horizon, and its lowest elevation at 4.02pm, some 160 minutes efore sunset and 20 degrees above the horizon.
