The New Moon is Wednesday June 25. Earth is at solstice on the 21st. Mercury is rising the evening twilight. Mars is lowering in the early evening sky as it moves through Leo moving away from the bright star Regulus. Saturn and Venus are visible in the morning twilight.  The Moon is close to Venus on the 22nd. Look for the constellation Corona Borealis before midnight, the blaze star T Coronae Borealis (TCrB) may go Nova eventually.

Northern sky on the evening of Saturday, June 21  as seen from Adelaide at 22:00 ACST (click to embiggen)

If you look to the North just before midnight, you will see a prominent bright orange star, Arcturus, if you look northeast you will see a dainty circlet of stars. Corona Borealis, the northern crown. The blaze star T CrB is located on the right-hand side to the circlet, where the line of stars turns down, there are no other bright stars in the region, so when it erupts it will be easily visible. Viewing tips at my T CrB post. After some brief excitement last week (false alarm) TCrB can potentially go Nova any time between now and August 2025. 

Similar views will be seen from the rest of Australia at roughly the equivalent local time.
