Jupiter (and the moon)
Where I live Jupiter is out early in the evening. I took my oldest son out to look at it on the telescope. Even on our extremely-cheap, bottom-of-the-line telescope, we can see Jupiter beautifully. I can even make out some of the stripes on the planet. Unfortunately, our telescope is so wobbly that I can't take a picture of it (like I did of the moon) without it just turning out junky. The moon shot was possible because it was bright enough that I didn't actually have to touch the camera to the telescope to take the picture, and I didn't have to use long exposure times. With Jupiter, I would need a longer exposure time, and the viewport on the high-magnification lens is so small that I can't see anything unless I actually hold the camera to the telescope - and then it wobbles so much that it is unviewable.
But if you have access to a telescope - check out Jupiter, it's beautiful and easy to see (in North America, in any case).
UPDATE - just for practice, I went out tonight and took some moon shots. Most of them were pretty bad, but this one was passable:
