And just to the left is Saturn with a slightly orange tinge. Behind you is the very bright Jupiter and to the left of that lower down in the east is Mars. For completeness Neptune is to the left of Saturn and Uranus to the right of Jupiter. You can just see Mercury before sunrise too. I managed 7 planets and 8 moons a couple of nights ago.

Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, the Moon, and which three others?

Titan, Dione and Rhea or possibly Enceladus if I remember correctly from SkySafari.

The rings are nearly edge on so the planet looks a little different from the typical images. I managed good views last night too despite poor seeing. Jupiter was ok but Mars and Venus were both spoilt by the atmospheric conditions.
