I went out tonight just to have a look at saturn because the sky was extremely clear for my area which is quite light polluted. And as a bit of an extra bonus to some brilliant views of saturns rings, I counted about 14 satellites including the ISS, which is my personal record methinks!

Needless to say im chuffed to bits

Sounds like a fantastic viewing MightyMike, can I ask, what scope do you have and what eyepieces were you using? Just out of interest really Any Cassini Division?

oh no hehe, when I say "fantastic views of saturns rings" I pretty much just mean I saw them only had a proper telescope for about 2 weeks now and pretty much anything still looks fantastic for me haha.

Ive got a 60mm meade telestar, with 2 eyepieces, a 12.5mm (56x) and an 18mm (38x).

Actually managed to see another satellite the same night so im putting the number up to 15
