Not sure where you live, but the Pontchartrain Astronomy Society has meetings and viewing parties around the NOLA area.

Guy I know takes some incredible photos with his telescope. He is currently trying to photograph all 110 Messier objects.

One of his friends had it and was needing some money so he gave him $3500 for it.

I have a Celestron Nexstar computerized job. It finds stars and planets for you. Jupiter and Saturn are out these days

I have a Zhumell Z8 (8 inch) Dobsonian that I bought for new for $400 a few years ago.
Everything other posters have said about South LA humidity is absolutely true. I usually don't even take it out during the summer months because it tends to fog over so quickly.
This is the best image I've gotten from it, which was a Note 8 hooked up to the eyepiece:

If you're in Baton Rouge, or can be there when the club meets on Wednesday nigh at Highland road park observatory, I'd recommend going and talking with a few of those guys.

Answer:
You should probably contact missing persons in regards to your missing five year old, as opposed to worrying what planets you can see with this telescope...

The best deep sky objects in my opinion are seen in the cooler months anyway.
