In the USA alone, we see cities, towns, or villages of Johnstown in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
As it turns out, we don't have to concern ourselves with the problem of which one the question is referring to, as
the answer is the same for any of them.
The brightest star in the constellation Carina is Canopus ... second brightest star in the night sky, after Sirius,
and often used as a reference target for automated spacecraft navigation. Canopus is just about the
northernmost extent of the constellation Carina ... the rest of the constellation is south of Canopus.
The celestial declination of Canopus is -52.7 degrees. What that means is that if you're north of latitude
37-18N, then Canopus ... and the rest of Carina ... is never above your horizon.
That latitude is roughly the line across San Jose CA, Durango CO, Coffeeville KS, Springfield MO,
Paducah KY, and Roanoke VA. ON this line, Canopus just touches the horizon. North of the line, it's
never visible.
So, none of Carina is ever visible from any of the Johnstowns that we were able to find in the US. Sorry.
The constellation Carina is best visible in the Southern Hemisphere between January and March, reaching its highest point in the sky around midnight. In Johnstown, you might be able to see it in the early hours of the morning during these months. Use a stargazing app to get more accurate timings based on your location and date.

Why is the constellation Taurus the bull only visible in November not in May?
The constellation Taurus is actually visible in the night sky during both November and May.
