      You can actually see Jupiter with naked eyes! November is in fact the best month to look for Jupiter as the planet dips below the western horizon about 2.5 hours after sunset, so you should be able to see Jupiter as a bright large spot toward the west if you are far enough away from cities. There are details online for how to find the planet more precisely. If you want to take a clear picture of Jupiter though, you will need a telescope!
