You will just a few days to see these objects for April 15 until April 17th an hour after dusk.
Later, as Mercury and the Moon set and the evening gets darker you be able to spot a tall, tilted pyramid of the zodiacal light or glow will come into view you will need to be in an area far from light pollution to see it.

Look west in twilight for the thin crescent Moon above Venus, as shown at right. As the sky grows dark, the constellation of the Pleiades will come into view just above the Moon. Happy hunting!
