not far... the first BRIGHT object you see below and to the left of Jupiter is Saturn... very visible. Like I said, the rings are visible even with binoculars BUT.. holding steady enough is next to impossible.

BTW... know how to tell a planet from a star? Stars twinkle, Planets do not.... due to the amount of space 'dust' between us and the stars they flicker... but between us and the planets not enough dust to interfere with the light.
