Note:
Each month the Astronomical League publishes an updated Night Sky Tools. On that page click on the PDF or JPG link for "Navigating the [current month] Night Sky". The chart(s) there tell you what can currently bee seen in the night sky with further objects suitable for binoculars or the Library Telescope. Whether you are borrowing a Library Telescope, have binoculars, or are just stepping outside to look at the night sky, be sure to print it out and use it for a stargazing adventure!
