When I looked at Saturn the other day it was twinkling alright. But I was still pleased. A pity it looks so tiny in the photos I took. It was much bigger when looking through the 8mm eyepiece. Not like the photos we see here or elsewhere of course, but our scope is too small for those images of course.
