The constellation of Perseus reaches the zenith at local midnight, the point just overhead. Most prominent are the bright winter constellations in the south-east, especially conspicuous Orion and the brightest star Sirius in Canis Major. The square of Pegasus, the typical constellation of autumn, already sinks down to the western horizon. The brightest object in the night sky of November 2011, apart from the moon, will be planet Jupiter south of Andromeda. Mars will rise at about midnight in the constellation of Leo. Saturn will follow early in the morning.
