Hi Stan,
If you can find Mars, then you'll be able to find Saturn using this map.
A picture speaks a thousand words. :P

Hi Stan,
You could also have a look at this site:

skyandtelescope.com/observing/skychart/article_1220_1.asp

They provide a free interactive star chart. Just enter your time and location and it will give you a map of all objects you can see in the sky.

hi Stan,

another good site is www.skymaps.com which allows you download a free sky chart for the month. The chart is pitched at the latitude of the US but in general is fine for Ireland. I really like these maps because they are so clean and label many interesting objects you can see in binoculars or a small scope.
