+RonC Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 With a full Moon it's not the best time to see feint 'fuzzies' so try the easier targets. The Moon, M31 the Andromeda galaxy, M45 the Pliades, M42 the Orion nebula then enjoy just observing whatever you can see best and good luck tonight! Wrap up warm, it's going to be chilly!! Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) A couple of double stars, Albireo in Cygnus and then compare it with gamma Andromeda, Almaak. The bright moon wont affect viewing these much. Oh and Jupiter. Edited December 5, 2014 by philjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Jupiter will break the horizon around 22.00, and be half decent for around midnight. Have a good one Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werisit Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Definitely have a look Jupiter. The higher it is above the horizon the better. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
