Saturn tonight?

[EdskiMax]

Hi guys.. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what time Saturn will be up at tonight? And where to look?

Download Stellarium from stellarium.org and enter your location then search for Saturn. It will show you where it is if you progress the time.

Saturn will rise at 19:57 and set at 06:48, it will be in the constellation of virgo (look towards the east), close to spica (a bright star in the constellation). Hope that helps matey!!

Great info Buddy cheers.. I'll have to see if it's high enough for me to get a look.. I'm kinda blocked on to the east.. I see Mars & Venus so far here..

Should be a bit lower than 10 degrees above the horizon to the south east about now.

Dunno what that means for Ireland though.

It'll clear the houses round the back of mine in about an hour if that helps

Managed to get a very quick look at Saturn tonight before clouds came in again. Its still lowdown at 10pm and hiding behind my shed! But still git a good view in my Tal1 with 12mm x3 barlow. Thats about 200x I think. Mars with same scope was poor tonight though.

First clear night here for over a week, and so I was out to have a look. Mars was rather disappointing, but Saturn appearing over the tree line was well worth the wait!

Mars is moving away from us now so is gradually getting smaller in apparent size and more challenging to observe. Saturn however is rising earlier and earlier and starting to get well placed at a reasonably civilised time.
