April Night Sky

In case you want to make sure you don't stay-up past your bedtime there is this view west early evening.  

There is a conjunction of the two day-old moon and a very bright Jupiter just after sunset.  You cannot miss the moon and Jupiter with the naked eye.  The Pleiades star cluster can be found just above the moon.  You might be able to get everything in the field of view with a pair of binoculars.

Uranus is lurking there too.  For that you might need a telescope.

Fingers-crossed for clear viewing conditions.
