October Night Skies

One of the bright spots (pun intended) of the fall and winter night sky is a bright star cluster called the Pleiades.  Colloquially-known as the Seven Sisters you will be able to locate it tonight to the upper-right of a waning gibbous moon.

The glare from a bright moon may wash-out some of the cluster  so a pair of binoculars might be helpful.

Fingers-crossed for cold, clear viewing.
