I tried to look on Google to see if it would be visible from West Sussex, but could only find info on what Planets would be visible.   Do you think I will see it here, and should I look N S E or West ?
I thought I had spotted something very bright moving last night.  Took out my binos, but then two headlights came on, and I thought UFO, but then I could see the red lights on the wing tips.  A plane coming into Gatwick.  ::)  Mrs Bouquet

If it is near Orion, you can see that to the southeast late evening, south above you in the middle of the night and southwest pre-dawn.

Fortunately Orion is one of the easier ones to recognise even in a city as the main stars are visible.

I'm lucky where I live because it's on flat moss land with nothing for miles to prevent me seeing the whole of the sky which ever way I look. I can recognise Orion's belt and if there are no clouds I should be able to see it.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

"No clouds" is the tricky bit this week up here in Scotland...

kept looking out last night, but it was quite cloudy.   Will try again tonight.   Mrs Bouquet
