romx Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Seeing Saturn for the fist time myself only a few weeks ago with the exact same enthusiasm is what made me realize i am going to be spending a great deal on this hobby. just mind blowing when you see things like saturn, we all know they're there and see images on the net etc but nothing quite compares to seeing it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
