Where can I find Saturn in the night sky?
No silly, sarcastic answers, please. Just acquired telescope and want to locate interesting celestial objects.

Saturn
Bright Saturn sits in Leo, the Lion throughout the month and is high in the south at sunset. Through the evening and the rest of the night Saturn moves across and down to the west setting around 4am. The waxing gibbous (but only just over half) Moon sits to the left of the planet on the 25th.

dont think planets are on planisphere .they move
