I would have thought it would be easier with a mirror .

I can't find mine with both hands so I don't know how binoculars will help. But I'm willin to give it a shot!

Aye, classical case of wrong subject. Try:
See the Planet between Saturn and Neptune with Binoculars.
 
 

In Am with paulo on this one but just don't want to think about it

Going off on a tangent and actually commenting on the real event for a moment (*Gasp!*), it actually surprises me that we'll even be able to see that planet with binoculars since it's one of the two farthest away (and sometimes the farthest since it's orbit crosses Neptune's).
 
I recall seeing Saturn once around 2001 I believe when it's orbit was closest to Earth's.  Very weird because of the rings!

Oh yeah, Thank you Dave for the post. I will be watching!
