In the hour or so before the Sun rises on the morning of February 26^th look for the 21-day old last quarter Moon to be about 3-4^o from the Dwarf Planet Ceres. Realize, however, that seeing Ceres is not really possible given that Ceres has an apparent magnitude of between 7^th to 8^th, while the last Quarter Moon has an apparent magnitude between -11^th to -12^th.
   In any case, on the morning of the 27^th look for the 22-day old waning crescent Moon to be about 1-2^o from the outer planet Jupiter.
