You won't need a Meade Mysky or Celestron Skyscout to find Venus, tonight. This planet is about as bright as it gets, tonight, July 12th and you can find it low over the southwestern horizon after sunset. Next to the sun and the moon, Venus ranks as the brightest object in our sky. Get out and enjoy. On the other hand, your My sky or Sky scout will be of more use on Jupiter and Saturn. Better hurry, though. Saturn will be gone by the end of the month.
