Wednesday evening November 11th look toward the western horizon for a grouping of 3 planets and one dwarf planet. Very low over the horizon and possibly to low to be seen is the outer planet Jupiter. About 7-8o east from Jupiter is the dwarf planet Ceres, however at nearly 9th magnitude and low above the horizon Ceres will be difficult to see, if at all.
Several degrees east from Jupiter and Ceres is the brightly shining inner planet Venus and about 1-2o from Venus is the outer planet Saturn. These two planets will make a nice contrast in apparent magnitude (Venus: -3.95 Saturn: 0.57) as they easily will fit within the field of view of binoculars.
