The weather prospects look good for tonight, so the Sidewalk Astronomers plan to be out on the corner of Myrtle & Lime (Saturday 12/11) starting at 5 pm and continuing until at least 7 pm (possibly later). Likely objects include the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and in the early evening, the crescent Venus.
