Just went and peaked out the front door. The moon is almost full. I think tomorrow is the full moon. Right below it you can see Saturn. Almost straight up at the moment is Mars. Over to the west and north is Jupiter.

Almost straight out the door you can see Alpha Centauri and the Southern Cross. Scorpius is on the rise, but can't see it from this vantage point yet. When I get off it should be fully up in the sky chasing after Saturn and the Moon.

I hope it stays this clear when I got off at midnight and head to the Vets Hall.

Edit: Oh, and over to the north is the Big Dipper. Awsome stuff. Polaris is low near the northern horizon, but occasionally you can see the Little Dipper. Might see that tonight after I get on the bicycle on get past the building.

Wish I lived somewhere without so much light pollution. Its rare to really see more than a tiny handfuls of stars.
