The Eastern evening sky offers many sights to the new telescope owner. From stellar nurseries such as the Orion Nebula, to bright star clusters such as the Pleiades and Hyades. Low power eyepieces yield a larger field of view that is best suited for these large objects.This view shows the sky on Friday December 27th at 8:30 PM local time, as seen from mid-northern latitudes. Stars do not change positions significantly on surrounding nights, so this map can be used for a few days.
