Jupiter is climbing higher in the southeastern sky in the early morning hours, so you're going to have to get up before the birds if you expect to see it in a
telescope. The good news is that it is rising earlier each night and, by late summer, you can catch at a more convenient hour. The bad news for me, here in the Chicago area, is that it is locked in Sagittarius and that constellation never gets high in the sky this far north. Still, it's a favorite of mine, both in a
telescope and a
binocular. No, it doesn't offer a glorious wreath of rings like Saturn, but there is more detail to study on the surface with a telescope and you get to see a larger disc and some moons with a binocular.
