Saturn is visible in the evening sky using your spotting scope (25 - 50x). You can see the sphere and the rings. It's a pretty cool thing to see.
At 8:30 tonight it was at 220 degrees (southwest) and about 1/3 the way up the horizon. It will get lower to the horizon as it sets around 10. It is a medium bright yellowish star. Give it a look! The next few days will be best before the moon gets too bright.
