Finding which one Saturn is in at any given time is easy if you know what you're looking for. Planets look like stars to the unaided eye, except for one distinction. they don't twinkle. You won't be able to see Saturn's rings with the unaided eye, but the planet will appear whitish yellow and rather bright. Tonight Saturn can be found at RA: 14 h 44 m 55 s DEC: -13° 37' 45". You can get a double treat as Mars is close by. RA: 15 h 11 m 46 s DEC: -19° 35' 46".I bought a telescope about 20 years ago and didn't get to see much of anything. I guess I just didn't know where to look and so I lost interest very quickly.
