I managed to complete my personal challenge this Opposition to see concurrently the six moons within reach of my 140mm refractor.
Titan, Rhea, Dione, Tethys and Iapetus were straight forward and nice sharp points of light. Enceladus was more difficult but was just visible and formed a triangle with Rhea and Dione.
The night certainly contributed to the success. Seeing was as good as it gets. Transparency was good but there was some moisture around.
Needless to say, Saturn itself was sharp and spectacular.
