| Look for the Beehive star cluster on the night of the 1st. It will be easily visible in your binoculars. |
 |
| The brightest star in Leo the Lion is Regulus. It will be the yellowish-orange star to the left of the moon on the night of the 3rd. |
 |
| The moon leaves Leo on the night of the 5th. Get away from your neighborhood street lamp and you should be able to see the large, but sparse star cluster Mel-111 in binoculars. |
 |
| The moon forms a line with Jupiter and Spica on the night of the 6th. Jupiter will have a mellow color to it and it will not twinkle. Spica on the other hand is a real star and will twinkle. Spica is the brightest star in Virgo the Maiden. |
 |
| With binoculars, you can see the moons of Jupiter on the 6th. It's best if you prop them against something steady to improve the view. |
 |
| The moon passes even closer to Jupiter on the night of the 7th. |
 |
| This is the configuration of Jupiter's moons on the night of the 7th. |
