You can see Saturn it will be small however.
You can see Saturn WITHOUT a telescope -- it looks like a star in the sky. Download the free planetarium software Stellarium and it will show you what is up in the sky for any time or date. All of the planets follow the ecliptic across the sky-- the same path that the sun makes across the sky.
Saturn is in the Southeast after dark right now.
