Saturn and Mars

Hi all not been around for a while, but last night i set up the evostar for a look at the planets. although low in the sky i was pretty happy to see both Saturn and Mars using the celestron x-cel 8mm. i did try using the 2x barlow but it made the seeing a bit wobbly. lovely night spent with the family looking at the two planets, even the wife thought that Saturn was amazing. all in all glad i got the scope out. cheers guys.

Saturn is always great to see, even when the seeing is bad. I was out for an hour or so last night and saw Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, along with M57 too.

Sounds great! Saturn is one of the rare sights that the missus appreciates here as well

Hi. Nice to hear some people are getting some clear Sky's? . Absolutely terrible seeing conditions in my part of the world at the moment. I did get some really good views of Saturn last week , and Mars also. But Jupiter has been the best performer a few week's back ,has been cracking at times high  up and a joy to get some detail out of. But Saturn is always my favorite(my first planet I ever discovered with a telescope) there is just something magical about the structure of Saturn?
