Planets
Mercury : Unfavourable until next month

Venus : Venus is *just* back in the evening sky but sets soon after the Sun. As the ecliptic is angled steeply now it should soon be much more obvious.

Mars : Mars is still close to opposition (Jan 29th) so the best time to view it.

Jupiter : Jupiter goes through superior conjunction in late Feb, so we can concentrate on the re-appearance of Saturn.

Saturn : Saturn has returned to the morning sky and moved round to the constellation of Virgo.

Meteors : The alpha Aurigids are due between the 6th and 9th (and not much Moon), but its a moderate shower.
