Nothing could of prepared me for the sight of saturn - WOW, DOUBLE WOW, infact I have spent 2 nights just looking!

Even the kids are impressed, which id fairly tricky with teenagers!.

I have seen many posts saying that you never forget your first viewing and I dont think I will.

Amazing and WOW!

Congratulations Jo :hello2:

I promise you it won't be the last time you ever look at Saturn. Although there are other great things to see, I bet that in future, you will always return to it at the start of session just to say hello! before moving on - I know because I do

Clear skies!

I remember my first view as thought it happened 10 seconds ago... addicting, isn't it?

[yeti monster]

Yup, Saturn is an old friend now, always happy to see him!

Nice one Every time I get a new e/p the first thing I test it on is saturn (or if that ain't around then jupiter. It's just something you never tire of. Wait till you get some higher magnifications of saturn - you just get more and more engrossed in it lol

saw it first 25 years ago,and i still have a peek everytime i go out and its available!

My first peek at Saturn was about 31 years ago, through my school's 70mm refractor. I still just fall silent when I look at it through my 8" SCT (after which I tend to bounce through the garden a bit, and return for another breathless look). Especially when the seeing is good, there is nothing like it.

I stumbled across it with my 1st scope 20+ years ago, one of the all-time WOW factors. It doesn't get much better than your first view.

Something you will never forget and will never tire of seeing again
