It stays with you forever. My first Saturn viewing in 2005 is still as clear as day. I still remember the tingling feeling. The great thing now is that each year the view of the rings is going to improve for you. :)

I first viewed Saturn in a 60mm achromat and tiny as it was it was unforgetable.

Hope you have more great views especially when seeing is good, planets are amazingly beautiful.

It's a fantastic sight I remember mine very well indeed. Still to see it in my 16" so can't wait for that.

Hehe yeah i bet it will look amazing in your 16" :) Was very impressed with my little 5" etx125, saw the rings and some moons too :) fantastic! When i find myself another job (please god) and fix my car :crybaby: I will save and get the 12" SkywatcherFlexitube, should get some amazing views with that :)

Oh you will, when I was up at Kielder, the view through my 12" was every bit as good as the observatories 14" LX200. mind I was using a borrowed Nagler. :)
