Default Jupiter's whereabouts?

At last caught up with the group after wanadoo pulled the plug. Anyway,
I was just wondering where Jupiter will be in the sky this as I want to
view it.

A present, Jupiter rises in the South East, at about 8pm. It is due South,
between about 2am, and 3am in the morning.

Best Wishes

Worth getting something like Starry Night or similar sky mapping s/w,
saves you the truoble of waiting for answers. I think you can still
get starry night for a free trial, eg

I only use UT, for astronomical times. Should have said 'UT', not 'am'...
Hint though, it is worth quoting the part you are replying to, otherwise
it is very hard for people to know what you are talking about.
