Comet Olbers should soon be visible between Ursa Major (the Plough / Great Bear) and Leo as sunset gets earlier: at the moment it is still hidden in the 'gloaming' at 10.00pm, but I might have imaged it last night. It is currently at magnitude 7, so visible with binoculars or small telescopes: best of all, time exposure with a DSLR should reveal it as a small, fuzzy ball! To the north, the Andromeda galaxy, M31, is well placed.
