Wow, was I annoyed we had rain - when we could have seen the Pleiades right near the Moon.

5. I see them most reasonably clear nights in season. But very dimly due to the light pollution where I live.

I had not heard of the conjunction with the moon but probably wouldn't have bothered since I'm sure the nearly full moon nearby would washed them out.

To see what's up, every night, sometimes 3 or 4 times a night, I look at
https://in-the-sky.org/skymap2.php

(get rid of that deep space junk with that checkbox below the sky map and on the left side -- nobody can see any of that stuff unless they live 50 miles from the nearest street lamp, so its just clutter)

I would be lost without this because of the city lights, so few stars and planets are visible, so this helps enormously in finding things and being sure that what I'm seeing is actually what I think I'm seeing.

For those who want to see the H.A. Rey version of the constellations: On the left side below the sky map, there is the default setting: "Simplified Designs". Pull down on its arrow, and choose "H.A. Rey's designs".
