Thanks for the heads up on the planet viewing times & locations.
I know now that I did see Saturn, but it was quite low in the sky.
If Jupiter was in the east then I wouldn't see it until much later in the night when it gets higher in the sky. I'm viewing from my backyard & the house & trees block the view to the east.
I'd better start saving. I think I'll visit a couple viewing nights to try some scopes before I buy one.
