I just volunteered to lead a stargazing thing at my local library, which should be exciting - mostly I use big telescopes that professional observers run for me, because I'm a spoiled professional astronomer.

So, hey astronomers (especially amateurs with small scopes)! What are your favourite targets to look at in the sky with a small scope at this time of year? Bonus points if they're pretty easy to find! (It's a just-after-sunset observing session, last quarter moon, so no moon, darn)
