What's the best season for viewing the constellation Tucana?

I'm researching the constellation Tucana for school. I need to know what season it is best viewed. Other info would be good too.|||It depends on where you live. From where I live, at a mid-northern latitude (45掳N) it ca never be viewed because it never rises above the horizon. In fact, it just barely peeps over the southern horizon in Key West, the southernmost point in the continental United States, at 11:51 p.m. EDT tonight. From Sydney, Australia, it is circumpolar, visible all night every night. It contains 47 Tucanae, probably the most beautiful globular cluster in the sky.
