Brilliant. That was my reaction last week when I saw it for the first time too. Tonight was my first time seeing one of it's moons (I'm assuming Titan).

It is a sight to behold. Wonderful

i was pretty pleased with myself when i first found saturn too, and that was with a spotter scope, now i have bigger toys to play with and it still gives me a buzz when i find the rings:)

happy spotting:D

My sister bought a telescope about 10 years ago, it was only a cheap one. We managed to find saturn and had no idea that I was going to see it in that much detail. I was just blown away, so I know how you feel! Thats what got me into astronomy.

Well done its beautiful. I found saturn tonight as well really amazing sight i was jumping round the garden like a menatl case i even seen the moon titan.

I was looking for it before and thought i couldnt get focus only to find out i was actually looking at Acturus the star:o

I'm aiming for a good Saturn shot tonight. Showed my Boss jupiter pics from last night and he asked if I could get one of saturn as well. I told him I would need tomorrow off since Saturn hits optimal here at 2 AM. He actually gave me the thumbs up. Love my Job.

I like to imagine standing on one of Saturns moon's and watching 'the ringed one' rising - huge, golden and magnificent against a black sky.

When i saw The Orion Neb i shouted f****** look at that at the top of my voice all the teenagers in the park (which is just over the back from me) started laughing and was trying to work out where it came from.

I always wonder what my neighbours think at 1 in the morning when i shout at the missus to ' come and look at this its awsome'

[kernowstargazer]

My neighbours think im nuts anyway as when im in the garden at midnight doing the carlton dance from the fresh prince because ive seen something ive been looking for ages in dead of night.

[paul schofield]

lmao, I can see this happening.

Fantastic Gothicangel .

Whenever I get hacked off at work, I just remember the first time I saw Saturn - and all of a sudden I'm grinning like a madman again .

Unfortunately clouds have come over where I am, so I guess I won't be seeing that sight again tonight:(.

[nickdud]

I think we need a youtube Carlton dance hahà

whats the minimum magnification you need to view saturn ? got aperture 1200 and 25mm / 10mm eye piece

[Mike5537]

I'm so jealous, I'm hopefully heading to my first star gazing night on the 14th in peterborough. I'm desperate to see something like saturn or jupiter so I can convince my wife to let me buy a scope!

[StarSupernova]

I think I caught a faint glimpse last night but as I'm still a bit new to the telescope, I found it hard to pinpoint the exact position. I've found Jupiter and it's amazing to see the moons and with my 4mm lens I can see a bit more detail but if you knock the telescope just a tad, I lose it.
