Weekly Planetary Guide for your Image Stabilized Binoculars

This what I saw with the help of my favorite Image Stabilized Binoculars. It isn’t always convenient to use a tripod. With Image Stabilization binocular models there’s no need for additional equipment.
Mercury is climbing from the sunset horizon, to the lower right of Venus. It's getting higher and easier to observe every day. By the end of this month it will be prominent enough.
Venus shines during evening twilight in the west-southwest, and it becomes an increasingly easy-to-spot object in the dusk.
Mars can be seen very far to the left of bright Jupiter in early dawn.
Jupiter for now is the brightest "star" before and during dawn.
Saturn rises closer to the end of twilight and is up in the east by 10 p.m.
Uranus located in the upper left of Venus gets low in the southwest after dusk.
Neptune is lost in the sunset.
Pluto is rarely emerging from the dawn glow. So, get your favorite binocular.
