if you get yoruself a planisphere 5.99 or 7.99 depending on size from most bookshops, you can in the top disc see everything they show you, which is easier than a book anyway.
On the back of the disc is a chart which shows you where to find the planets. it even has the ecliptic path drawn on in dotted lines and if you know where that is, you can find all planets just above or below just like the moon goes...

Because holding the bino's steady is near impossible with 12 /15X unless on a firm tripod. 4D
