Finding Saturn without Polar Alignment....


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

the next time the clouds depart I want to try and catch a glimps of Saturn.

I have not as yet Polar Aligned, will this be a problem or will it actually just show up in my finder scope if I get the location off Stellarium?

Sorry if a silly question but I think tomorrow night will be clear and don't want to miss the opportunity.

Thanks,

It's visible to the naked eye and easily findable in the finderscope. Look for the bright non twinkling sky in the ESE to SE rising around 20:30. Peak is about 02:15 where it should be due S to SWS.

I had solid fog / mist last night but I could see Saturn through it, nothing else mind :)
