Well, it's not moving away that fast (relatively) so if we get clear skies in the next few nights it still should be a good view.

Its very bright and orange. You should see it to your east during the evening. Getting higher (overhead) as you approach midnight. I have a good link I will try and post when I get home

Here is the link I promised. http://www.fourmilab.ch/yoursky/
Use the skymap and enter a long/lat for your location (should be able to get those from multimap or similar).
Then customise your view for planets, constellations etc

Nice clear sky yesterday evening so excellent views of Mars. More or less due east at around 6pm, and far enough from the half moon for that not to affect viewing. If we get clear skies at the weekend may get the telescope out and set up.
