I just saw Saturn for the first time tonight
.
I found it first on Stellarium but my laptop screen is broken (have to use a monitor) so was a little worried I wouldn't be able to find it outside using my memory alone (i'm pretty hopeless at identifying things in the sky, especially considering I wasn't sure what direction I was facing exactly (turned out I was pretty spot on, thanks google maps).
Flatmate has an app on his iPhone : Star Map. I'm sure there are better options people could recommend, but for me it was perfect. You just point it at the sky and it tells you what you're looking at. Was looking for Spica (figured if I could find that then Saturn wouldn't be far away). Pointed out what we guessed was Spica and the app confirmed it. Quickly found out (almost instantly) that the other equally bright light a bit off to the side was Saturn.
Was amazed to see how bright Saturn is right now, so easy to find. So happy. Stellarium and that iPhone app highly recommended by this beginner.
