Beautiful shot Adam, shame the cloud spoiled the main event, but one to stick in the album for sure! Thanks for sharing. Z

Hi and Welcome to SGL, hope you manage to get your scope sorted, and get to see how fantastic the sky is soon. Z

Hello Spikey, welcome to SGL Z

Hi Paracelus, welcome to SGL Wishing you clear skies for when your new scope arrives! Z

I'm by no means an expert, but sounds like you found Arcturus and not Saturn. Arcturus is very bright and is yellow-orange in colour. Saturn would be unmistakable through your EP. Easy mistake though if you can't Polar align, both are in the South sky, but Saturn would be further West than what you were viewing I think. I had similar problems, but if you download Stellarium, it should help you locate things more easily

Hi Terry, welcome to SGL. Hope your shiny new scope arrives soon! Z

Hi Mike, welcome to SGL

Welcome to SGL Good luck building your observatory, make sure you take some pics and show us all when it's done! Z

Thanks for the well wishes guys. If I wasn't hooked before, I certainly am now! As expected, the clouds have been playing with me and offer about an hour of decent seeing a night. But I've had a few good nights observing Saturn this week, so I can't complain! Hopefully will get some good conditions again soon and see what else I can find. Thanks again, and wishing clear skies for you all, Z
