Venus and Saturn are in the same field of view with binoculars.
Look to the southwest just before, after, or near sunset.

Clear night here, and Venus was huge. Got the scope out for a bit to enjoy even before I saw your message.
Like the copyright thingie.

Thank you, I'll take the kids out now. Last clear sky for a few days now, we are expecting clouds soon, so I'll have to hurry!
Edit: Thank you! Now DD has something to brag about in science class.
Run for fun.
