Sorry but had to share it with someone.

Yes, such a beautiful sight when you first see it through a scope. It becomes force of habit for me to always start my sesh by visiting Saturn and its moons...

i remember my first time to see saturn,

such a buzz, seen all the photos in the magazines, but to see it in the eye piece is a super sight:headbang:

No need for the apologies - she is stunning.

Still a wow moment every time.

[PRICEMAN]

Well done. Was the first thing I ever saw in my new scope. I'll never forget it

[brantuk]

Hahaha! You just gotta love those "first time seeing saturn" experiences. Congrats Andy - consider yourself initiated in astronomy and hooked on the slippery slope of equipment purchase lol

Saturn was on of the first objects I searched for and I was amazed by the view it almost did not seem to be real, it looked just like the planets I saw as a kid drawn in comic books.

I think it should be illegal to sell anyone a scope (especially if it is their first one) except when Saturn is visible.

This would help create a much higher retention rate of new amateur astronomers, as well as help prevent all those unwanted Xmas telescopes being abandoned on pieces of waste ground or tied up in bin liners and tossed in the canal...Remember folks - a telescope isn't just for Xmas!!

Saturn is truly a great sight! I first saw it at a meet of the local astrnonmy society and was amased, the seeign was great and got a good long look at it with a small gap between the rings. Sadly had to keep moving the scope on the dob mount so no pictures.
