Looking directly west at around 2000hrs 30 degrees above the horizon a beautiful astronomical triangular grouping
Spica, Mars and Saturn, with Arcturus shing at Mag -0.05 just south and to the left of the grouping.

In the morning get up at 0500hrs and see a dazzling display looking East and Nor/East to the stars of Orion, Canis Major and Sirius, Canis Minor and Procyon, along with Jupiter at Mag -2.2 and Venus at Mag -4.3
