I am new at this and bought a very good telescope for Christmas. I heard that you can see Mars now but can't seem to find it. Can anybody help me. I have a computerized telescope so if I can find the coodinates between two stars maybe I can find it. Any body help me? Or let me know where I can find coodinates.Thank you Pat

Mars is currently in Aries. It's magnitude is -0.6 and brighter than Capella or Arcturus, but by month’s end it will rival Orion’s Rigel at +0.2 magnitude.<br /><br />Look for the waxing gibbous Moon to be slightly more than a thumbwidth northeast of Mars in the evening of January 8th. <br /><br />Tell us more about your new telescope!
