I will be looking for this tonight but what else is interesting on that site is you can find the comet Lovejoy by looking for Orion’s belt and then looking to the right and up about 20 degrees:)

I hope I have clear weather on the 21st. I first saw Venus and Mercury last week, and it’s still a good show today. A person doesn’t need to wait until the 21st.
