The child and the dog Canis Major, where Sirius shines the brighter the stars.
Not far to the left of Orion, the stars shine twins.Just above the bull and grim charioteer.
The faint stars of the Aquarium, they decline of western horizon, followed by fish and Pegasus.
To the north of the Big dipper was climing to the right of the pole,and the tail touches the horizon.

The Moon and the planets. 
Jupiter is the only planet to be visible in the evening sky.
The observatoring show the equatorial band disappeared a few months ago.
Saturn anticipates his arrival, but December is visible at night.
Venus bright, shining in the morning sky before dawn.
