Well, how the sky can suprise astronomy fans? I succeeded to see a few stars, plus three constellations completely, because the clouds cohabited the sky with the stars.

The Moon was up, the first star shining in the sky was Jupiter, and lighted later Sirius.

Taurus
Only the Pleiades, Jupiter and Aldebaran.

Orion
I saw totally the constellation.

Procyon
In the Canis Minor constellation, it was at the right of the Moon.

Regulus
In the Lion constellation, it was at the left of the Moon.

Dubhe and Merak
The pointers, in the Ursa Major constellation.

Pollux and Castor
In the Gemini constellation.

Capella
In the Auriga constellation.

Moon
When I went outside, the first I wanted to see - and I saw - was the Moon. It is in the Cancer constellation, and used to help finding some stars.

The Moon also did Sun's job, that is, it lighted the ground (and the snow). Maybe I'll photography it another day.

Cassiopeia
No more comments.

Pegasus
Plus Mirphak.

Hydrobius and Ashlesha
In Hydra constellation. I couldn't see other stars because of the dazzling moon.
