Saturn this August ??

Am planing on attending the OSP (Oregon Star Party) this year Near Prineville OR. dates are Aug. 16-19. I just ran my Starry Night program ahead to thos dates and Saturn is now where to be found after the Sun sets... I remember seeing it last year early in the morning prior to Sunrise, this year I can't find it.. any help would be appreciated, John M. Well I just did a little closer look and found that at this particular time Saturn will be about 1º from the Sun. sharing the sky with Mer. & Venus.. too bad, the seeing from 5500' is so transparent... oh well there will be so many other wonderful object to see! I will just miss Saturn's Beauty.. JM

Hi John.
Saturn is well placed now, and for the next couple months,
but you can look forward to Jupiter in August.
It is visible now, in the pre-dawn hours, just above Antares in Scorpius.
So it should make a good evening target starting in about June.
I hope that will ease your pain a bit.
