The Horsehead is just below Zeta. High power views can also show festoons and other atmospheric phenomena on Jupiter. Saturn has features too, and they can be followed with great excitement for planetary observers. Let's not forget to find Mars, Uranus, Neptune , and tiny Pluto . Mercury and Venus will play hide and seek with us over the next few months, but observers can see them easily when they know where they are.
Lunar observers can see occultations of stars from time to time.
These are kind of fun, but short. If you see a star near the lunar limb, keep an eye on it for a while and see if it get closer or farther from the limb. If it gets closer, you may be in for a treat by seeing our Moon pass between us and that star.
