Thursday evening October 31^st look toward the western horizon but not for trick or treaters. Rather look for the two inner planets to be within about 2-3^o from each other, and a bit further eastward for the Moon to be about 4-5^o from Jupiter. Also the Dwarf Planet Ceres is within 3-4^o from the crescent Moon. However Ceres is at 8^th as compared with Jupiter at -2.0 and the crescent Moon at -11.0 apparent magnitudes. And before anyone asks Venus is at -3.9 and Mercury at 0.63 apparent magnitude.
   Each of the pairs will easily fit within the field of view of binoculars.
