Here's an awesome site for observing the skies. Put in where you are and they tell you what you'll see. The neat thing is, these guys have tracked the orbits of satelites (including the governments "black" satelites) and can tell you where and when to see them. Pretty awesome:

I walked outside and I can see Mars and Saturn even though it's hazy and I'm in the middle of Bangkok.

Thanks Andy. That's great.

Do the "black" satellites have spinners?

This is great. I'm getting ready to buy my 1st telescope and I've been doing a ton of reading about this kind of thing. I'm primarily going to focus on larger objects like the Moon, Saturn and Mad Dog.

You forgot the biggest one, Robert Allen. :D
