Thursday January 20 to Thursday January 27
The Last Quarter Moon is Tuesday, January 25. After months of exciting evening planetary action Jupiter is now alone in the night sky, setting around the time the sky is full dark. Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard is just visible in binoculars below the star Gamma Grusis when the Moon is below the horizon. Mars is readily visible in the morning sky below Scorpius. Venus is low in the morning twilight.

Comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard) is a nice little binocular object, but fading. It is now relatively easy to find as it is in a binocular field of the brightish star Gamma Grusis, easily found by following the trail for stars from the two prominent stars of the constellation of Grus, the Crane.
