Out of a Window !! Now that has got to be difficult. Whats the light pollution level like where you are ? Window open of course ?

You will only find a few planets if you are lucky. At present I have Mars in th western sky in the early evening and Saturn after about 8 pm in the NE. Jupiter won't show up till later this year. Venus near the sun can eb seen but is just a bright star like blob. The rest are not really visible to identify in a 114mm.

Here's my current viewing thread, temps down about 10 degree C so bundling up warm but not frozen yet. I wear biking gloves, no finger ends to keep the hands moving and take a Thermos.
