A perfect time for a cup of tea...

Later on in the evening, why don't you have a look into the south for the richly populated area of sky which is Sagittarius?

One of the easiest ways of finding the constellation is to take a pair of binoculars (10 x 50 is fine) and start at Deneb in Cygnus. Sweep to the right and follow the curve of the milky way down to the horizon. You are looking for a funny shaped asterism named 'the teapot' which house some pretty unspectacular naked eye stars. However, the whole area is part of the galactic centre - you will see literally dozens of nebula and clusters. some will be naked eye, others require bins or scopes.

what is nice is that there appears to be nebula right at the top of the teapot spout - that's the steam you see! ;). Click on the picture to view a larger version.

Look to the South after midnight to see a region seemingly teaming with galaxies and nebula.
