February Planet hunt with binoculars

There will appear four planets on the western horizon right after the sunset in early February.
The first one, the closest and most likely the easiest to observe is Neptune. 60 degrees up and south you'll find not only Neptune, but Mercury, Uranus and Venus also. The easiest from all these planets to see is Venus, so it's better to start with it, and then move on to other ones. All three of these planets are in the constellation Aquarius.
There are more to see with your astromonical binoculars or observation binoculars or whatever you have at home. So get them out your closets or get one if you don't have. And enjoy!
