moon is great all the time, but seems to have more contrast when it is not full. planets are great at the moment. venus is a crescent shape at around 8.30 in the west, mars red and north at around 9.30pm, saturn rises in the east around 11.30, and jupiter is rising around 3am.
the iron pot is a great target, the handle is the best thing, won't spoil it, see if you work it out. it is about half way up in the east at around 10pm.
south is lovely for the milky way. have a real good huny there, for clusters and nebula.
it is a life long project that is sooooo much fun!!!
