Weather condition can't be forecasted in advance throughout all the year, so check a forecast service for that... Next you'll want people to grab your head, point it to some light in the sky and yell at you: "that's saturn!" :-/ @phongmei: dude, the article consists almost only of hints and best time of each year to best find it, might also try reading it.

Last night I was able to take some great shots of Mars & it's two moons to add to my night photography collection (which includes hundreds of shots of Jupiter and the four Gallealan moons.) By the way, you don't need fancy equipiment to capture these images- I get nice results from a Kodak Z981, with it's 26X power optical zoom. For less than $300 you could buy the camera and a tripod, check the location of your target planet, and take amazing photos! A note: Make sure your camera is set to manual mode- for Jupiter, f5, ISO 200, and shutter speed of .6 to .8 of a second yields good results. Mars required a two second exposure, which has the downside of giving the planet an oblong shape and the moons a streaky look due to Earths rotation. Next: SATURN!!!
