How did you know Coco!!..Was up at 4.30am Wanted to See if i could see Saturn and Venus..Found Venus no problem, jeeze so bright!..From Venus just up and right using Finder scope...It was a little dot that didnt twinkle(i thought it was Saturn but didnt know for sure)..Tentatively looked in the Eyepiece..YIIIHHHAAAA!..Its was such a clear view, could make out the gap between the rings and the Sphere as it were(sorry if not right terminology, i will learn!)..Watched Saturn for 2hrs, then it went cloudy...But i was more than happy..AMAZING!...Ive had my moneys worth already....

I'm glad that 200P worked out for you! Jupiter was my first astronomical sight too, and what a memorable view it is.

Enjoy your scope and check out some star clusters (lookup M45, it's easy to find) next time too
