Have fun finding and identifying them with naked eyes, binoculars, high zoom camera lens, high zoom camcorder and of course, through telescopes!
For android phone users, in addition to the free Google Sky Map, you may find the free PlanetDroid app very useful in finding the planets: PlanetDroid for Android Phones
Good luck!
Nice video on where to find the planets on Friday the 13th. :)
