Cheers, so am i right in thinking Venus is the brighter one lower in the sky?

Jupiter the higher one, Venus lower.

Spin yourself around and look south west of the moon, and you'll see Mars.

Planets and Stellarium are better mate, especially the latter.

Where is Sirius in the Sky? Is it near the moon or the other side (Venus/Jupiter)

Nights like these, I do love my telescope :)

Just had Jupiter and 5 of its moons in my scope. Quite a sight.

Not a patch on Saturn tho, thats just awesome.

If you look just above the horizon after sunset diagonally down to the right from Jupiter and Venus you might still be able to spot Mercury, which is pretty rare.

Just been out with my binoculars. Can just make out the moons. Incredible. Never seen the night sky so clear.

Wow, I bet thats amazing, I've been thinking of getting a decent telescope just to view the moon in decent detail really but that really whets my appetite - anyone know where to gets them from and how much I need ?
