Hello. Usually I find it's good to cross reference with a stellarium, like, well the app stellarium or sky safari. You quickly get to learn the naked eye visible constellations. Jupiter becomes incredibly easy to find by eye once you know what to look for (a largish, bright, yellow ball of light), it's distinctive and can't be erroneously mistaken for a star even when using your own eyes.
I can find Jupiter with my naked eye quite easily. But finding it in my 16x binoculars was tough. Likewise many stars. I assume 20x will be worse.

I have just received (free) a pair of 80x20 binoculars. Celestion. I know I need something to support them. I own a pair of 56x16 that I use and love for birding, but when I have put them on a tripod and tried to look at Jupiter I had a terrible time finding it.
So I need a safe support (I’m thinking parallelogram) but I also need advice, how do I find stuff?
