Uranus and Neptune are also around at the moment too, both are up by the time it gets dark, however you will probably need some sort of star chart, the ones in the astronomy magazines will help a lot. However, don't expect too much...they will just look like little blue/green "stars" but with a definite size, you will need a magnification of at least a hundred or so in order to make out any "size" though. Actually at the moment, I think you can see all the planets if you want to wait until near sunrise! You can even see one of the dwarf planets, Pluto, too....now that WILL look like a star!
