Astronomy Weekend of the 18th to 25th

What's going on in the sky over the weekend? 

Tonight, Friday 18th, you can point your telescope toward Saturn and check out some of the moons. Those with a medium to large telescope will have a great view.

Saturday, the 19th, Venus is in the light, again. An hour before sunrise; step outside and you'll find Venus in Cancer and at 67%. She'll be growing for the rest of the month and will eventually hit 71%, so make sure to take a gander. 

Sunday, the 20th, check out Venus again and with a pair of binoculars, move your gaze from Venus about 2.5 degrees to the northeast. There, you'll find asteroid 4 Vesta.
