If you have a 6-inch telescope, you can spot Jupiter's famous cloud bands, its Great Red Spot, and four major moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
The Moon will show off craters and dark plains like Mare Crisium and Mare Fecunditatis along its day-night line.
Venus sets first about two and a half hours after sunset; then Jupiter and finally the Moon roughly half an hour after midnight.
