Nice night for some astronomy

[spence]

Dark, clear skies and good seeing.

And what's out there tonight worth looking at?

[PRBuzz]

It was very clear, not much happening!

It's a nice winter sky. Just after sunset you have Andromeda at a nice elevation, Jupiter was easily visible and the Moon wasn't so big to wash everything out. The equatorial plane was in full display with Pegasus, Cassiopeia, Perseus, Taurus, Gemini, Orion etc.. with a very dark southern sky.

Good star gazing for kids as there were plenty of easily visible items of interest early...

Now if I could just keep my son's attention for more than 30 seconds

Tonight, Jupiter and the moon are just a few degrees apart. Venus was bright and brilliant, but it has probably set by now.

There's nothing special, like a meteor shower, going on.
