I had clear skies last Friday (3rd June) and had a great view of Porrima and Saturn in the same field of view at 40X through my new Tak TOA-130NS. The colour difference between the two was very nice to see (it is with the naked eye too).

At 77X I could see Porrima as an elongated peanut shape and the star was very clearly split at 278X. I also got to see Antares B that night (also at 278X), which has been managed a few times before, but is by no means easy. Never managed Sirius B yet..

Thanks for the post about Gamma Circinus, will give that one a go next clear sky, although not looking good for the next few days..

Cheers.
