With the nights starting to draw in, sunset much earlier than a month ago, its time to start looking at the night sky again.
Tonight over #basingstoke with your Naked Eye, you can find, Saturn rising from 20:22 and setting at 06:05 tomorrow morning,

[Basingstoke Astro @BASastro]

Jupiter will rise at 22:29. Tomorrow morning (if youre an early riser), you will catch Saturn at 05:13 (48 mins before sunrise.
With small telescopes and binoculars you should be able to see Asteroids and comets throughout the night.
IF you get the chance to go out tonight,
