Sunset at 4:37 pm. The crescent Moon will make for an amazing sight at sunset, afterwhich the planets will again dominate the evening sky. As soon as it gets dark enough, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus all put on a great show. Jupiter's moons (Io, Europa Ganymede and Callisto) are all in a line and nicely visible. Double stars, open clusters, NGC253 (Sculptor Galaxy), M31 (Andromeda Galaxy), M2 (globular cluster in Aquarius) will be among the featured objects along with many other beautiful deep sky objects that should be visible weather permitting.
