Thank you Alex,

I don't have much experience so I was quite happy to spot 5 moons around Saturn on two consecutive nights with such small telescope.

It was equally easy/challenging to see them with both 3.5mm as well as with 5mm eyepieces, and only two out of the five could be seen with a 13mm eyepiece. However, once I added a Barlow to the 5mm eyepiece, there was certainly more scattered light and I could not spot Dione anymore with added Barlow.
