So, Saturday I did a little dusting of the scope (SWMBO thought I was going to do the whole house!), moved some bolts about between finders so that the Right-angled finder now has a grub screw and can be swiveled to suit.

Lovely sunny afternoon so took dog for a long walk and joined in jumping in puddles with the little man.

Come the evening and it was clear. Did my usual of letting the dog out and glancing at the sky. Double take - twinkly things!

Out with the kit - grab and go - looked at M42, Castor, Mizar, M45 then found Saturn. BeHold! The old friend has returned.

No good, need the big guns for this, so out came the trusty 6" Newtonian. Ahhh, what a sight!

Got to use the x3 Barlow I recently acquired to really crank up the mag - got to x236 and it took it!

That's what it's all about!
