Planets
Mercury :
The best chance to see Mercury in recent months. Due East before sunrise and at maximum altitude (of barely 9 degrees) on the 23rd. Which by coincidence is the Autumn Equinox.
Venus : Too close to the Sun now, inferior conjunction Oct 29th
Mars : Very difficult. Mars is now distant making it look tiny and low down close to the horizon.
Jupiter : Jupiter is at opposition on the 21st and nearby Uranus on the 22nd.
Saturn : After Superior conjunction recently Saturn is too close to the Sun.
Uranus & Neptune : are well placed now, Uranus right next to Jupiter and Neptune (opposition on August 20th) nearby in Capricornus.
Meteors : No major showers due this month.
