I do know that I'm fairly sure I have been able to spy Saturn out of my binoculars (I still need to get a telescope)... these are fairly basic binoculars but I was sure I could make out just a slight bulge on the edge (what I presume were the rings). So I would say that indicates it was reasonable viewing. |
Hey Phil. I think it was overcast here for Earth Hour so I didn't get to try.
Yes I put the binos (10x) on the tripod for the first time and could see the slightly distended orb. Bloody hard using binos on a tripod! Nearly gave myself 2 black eyes at one point.
