I saw my first view of Saturn for this season (naked eye) for what must have been without exagerration, 1 second - I ran inside to put my glasses on to see it better (which couldn't have been more than 30sec) and then it was gone, completely blanketed over by cloud.

Ron, it's fantastic to get an obs report from you with a downsized scope, makes it an extra interesting read. Regarding NGC 4945, I'd be curious to know how much extra detail you get in your 16", or is it still quite feint despite Thank you for the enjoyable post.

I'm still laughing at your "averted imagination" line. You put wonderful humour in your posts.
Suzy and thanks for the compliment, I am only going on reports on iis that it is not visible till Saturday morning
There is considerably more detail in the 16" with high mag of NGC 4945
I am finding it just a little frustrating at the small size of objects I am observing
CHEERS
PS none of the web sites mention anyone seeing it visualy .
