I’m going to go outside tonight to see what I can. Very dark skies and clear here, but I have a 14,000 foot mountain range blocking the horizon.

It should be just above the horizon now to the NNW direction. It will set below the horizon pretty quickly after sunset.

Give us a couple of constellations where it will be located next to or inside of. Heard it was below Ursa Major (Bear/ Big Dipper) but descriptions were as cloudy as our skies are now.
Somebody use the bottom star in the Big Dipper’s handle thru to Arcturus (the large red star that is found by going out from the handle’s bottom star.

I just went outside and looked, but the sky is still too bright here in the West.

To the naked eye, it was just a smudge in the sky and very difficult to see.
With a decent pair of binoculars it was “fascinating” as my daughter said.

To: MtnClimber

The clouds dissipated and I found it directly under the cup of the Big Dipper (Canis Major). Could see it well without binoculars, but better with binoculars. This is the first night it has not been too cloudy. It was almost full cover with high, thin overcast, but it cleared after sunset!
