By 8:39 p.m., civil twilight is almost over, and you should be able to see the brightest stars. Arcturus is almost overhead, only 17 degrees from the zenith in the southwest direction.    
Mercury and Regulus are low in the west with Regulus only 4 degrees above Mercury.
Mercury was at its greatest elongation last Wednesday, and now is circling closer to the Earth, getting dimmer each day as its crescent phase narrows. It will be visible in the twilight until the end of the month.

For early bird skywatchers willing to look up before dawn the next few days, the Moon will be putting on a great show.  On Saturday, July 23, about an hour before your local dawn face east to find the Quarter Moon. Joining our celestial neighbour will be what looks like a creamy coloured, bright star which is in fact planet Jupiter - sitting about 700 million km from Earth. If you get clouded out try again on Sunday morning. The Moon still be hanging around the gas giant but will have moved on its other side.
