The Last Quarter Moon is Sunday May 29.
Evening sky on Saturday May 28 looking west as seen from Adelaide at 22:00 ACST. The inset is the telescopic view of Jupiter at 20:00 ACST. Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen).
Jupiter was at opposition on the March 8th, when it was biggest and brightest as seen from Earth. However, Jupiter will be an excellent telescopic target for many weeks to come.
Jupiter is high in the evening sky as the sun sets, and is good for telescopic observation from around 18:00 on. Jupiter's Moons will be an excellent sight all evening. On the 28st Io crosses Jupiter's face around 19:00, then its shadow follows from around 20:00..
The evening is also graced by the summer constellations of Orion the Hunter and Canis Major with bright Sirius, the dog star above the western horizon in the early evening.

Mars is high in the evening skies in the head of the Scorpion.
Mars starts the week in the headin front of the star Dschubba and foring a line with Dschubba and Anatres. As well Mars forms a triangle with Saturn and the red star Antares. Mars was at opposition on May 22, but Mars will be big and bright for all this week. It is visible all night long. In even small telescopes Mars will be a visible disk, and you should see its markings.
Saturn is reasonably high in the evening sky and is readily visible below Scorpius. Saturn forms a triangle with Mars and the red star Antares. It is now high enough for good telescopic observation in the evening.
Venus is lost in the twilight.
Morning sky at 6:00 ACST facing east as seen from Adelaide.Similar views will be seen elsewhere in Australia at the equivalent local time. (click to embiggen).
Mercury climbs higher in the morning sky, but is still low to the horizon.
Comet C/2013 X1 (PANSTARRS) is now high enough above the horizon murk in the morning sky to be readily visible before twilight. It is currently around magnitude 7. A guide to seeing it is here.
There are lots of interesting things in the sky to view with a telescope. If you don't have a telescope, now is a good time to visit one of your local astronomical societies open nights or the local planetariums.
