Jupiter and Venus (brighter one) are visable in the sky to the south,southwest after sunset. Venus will move closer to Jupiter over the next month.
They will be in Conjunction on March 15th.
You can see the 4 biggest moons of Jupiter with 10X binos.

Spotting Scope works pretty good too.

There is another good App for the smart phones called "Where is IO"

It will show you the rise and set times of the planets and also the positions of Jupiters 4 biggest moons.

Thanks for the info. But I don’t have any kind of mobile communicator. Only a landline. And fortunately it isn’t functioning properly. When someone calls it only rings once. Makes ignoring it much easier. ;-)
