45 degrees East of the Sun. You will see the crescent Moon.
Just 1 degree South, below the bottom of the Moon, look

How to measure degrees: Extend your arm in front of you
and hold up 1 finger. Your finger is about 1 degree wide.

bottom of your hand is about 10-15 degrees.

Neptune and Pluto. Saturn will be up a little after midnight. Only Mars is missing, being
on the far side of the Sun right now.
