Saturn- first time

[Donkeiller]

A break in the clouds last night gave me about an hour to test out my replacement Synscan AZ goto mount.

After a few test targets I thought can I see Saturn from my back garden.

YES!

Took the power up to 200x (6mm + 2x Barlow) and was sure I could see the Cassini divsion.

Wishful thinking? No confirmed by my wife (who has no interest in the sky), but who said why are the rings split in two?

Excellent:hello2:

Nice one

No reason why the Cassini shouldn't be visible.

Did you get your wife out of bed for the view of a lifetime

Is she good at feigning interest

Cheers
