I know it is very cold out tonight, but I was just outside looking through the telescope. The air is very dry and thin which makes viewing the starts pretty incredible. Tomorrow morning around dawn you will get to see a very thin waning crescent moon. Not often seen as it gets reflection only for a few minutes very early. It will be visible for a few days. Venus will be just above the moon at around 1 o'clock position-wise. 7 planets will actually visible in the next few days as well. Oh and if you have a telescope you will actually see that Venus is actually a crescent as well as the moon...Just some FYI for any sky watchers..Bundle up and take a quick look. The heavens are an awesome thing to view.
