[Avodah] Minhagim of the Ashkenaz Synagogue ("The Luach") (5774)

[Eli Turkel]

<<It all depends where you are located.  6:20 is before sunrise in some
places.>>

I saw in the Mate Ephraim (581:11) that the old minhag was to say selichos
at the end of the night. However, recently (in his days) they wait until
"alot haschachar". (not sunrise!!).
However on Saturday night/sunday morning they begin earlier because the
language of the pizmon talks about night
However, one who says tikun chazot can say the selichot afterwards.
Hence, it would seem that saying selichot at midnight is better than sunrise
