One of the benefits of viewing the night sky during the winter months is the lack of humidity - a contributor to light pollution clutter and general impediment to star-gazing.
In any event this time of the month there is a waning crescent moon and if you are fortunate-enough to live with generally dark skies there is limited competition from the moon this evening. Which is an opportunity to become familiar with a popular and easy to locate constellation. Cassiopeia - The Queen.
You will locate Cassiopeia in the northwest in the evening during the month of February. In the shape of an M or W it is one of the easiest constellations to spot.
