A Fist Full of Galaxies. Take at look at some fine galaxies before we get into the numerous Winter objects coming up. These are easily visible in a small to modest sized telescope in somewhat dark skies. Also, Jupiter is up all night for observing while your last chance to see Saturn is now.
Everyone have a Merry Christmas!
