I was viewing saturn earlier tonight too. Always a beautiful sight, I'm sure I'll never tire of seeing that ringed planet, and neither will you, Amy!

I`m about to go out and observe Saturn. Amazing isn`t it, and you will keep going back to it again and again.

I thimk we will all be happier though when it is up at a reasonable hour.

I also saw Saturn for the first time last night... Went out pretty much as soon as I got home from work (half 9 or so), and was in and out all night! After 3 failed attempts at using the SkyAlign feature of my scope, I was reduced to moving it manually to get the object in field. Saturn blew me away, it was definitely sharp and the rings, appearing almost vertical to me, were the icing on the cake (although the Cassini Division eluded me. This time anyway). I also had a quick five minutes with the Sun just now and that looks awesome as well (although it'll be better when there's some feature to it... It's a little blank at the moment)!

Can't wait until Saturn gets higher in the sky at a more reasonable time of night... Easily the best thing I've seen!

Arghh - I've not seen it yet, I like my bed too much! Can't wait for it to be visible at a "respectable" time!

One of the first things on my list to look for when I get my scope
