I finally dragged my self out of bed this morning being Friday at 5 am, it was clear!! got the heritage dob 130p out got on to mars.... well what can i say... disappointed was the word, had to go to full power x144 9mm x2 barlow and it was just a orange ball no detail it was quite bright though. i was thinking on the lines of Jupiter size and brightness, any way got Saturn in low east, rings are nearly side on now, no moons showing, then the clouds rolled in, oh ISS came over on slow approach at 5.30 followed with scope until disappeared in east.
