Hello There
Viewed Saturn for the fist time last night ,Man what a BUZZ to think i could see 1.4 bill km is unbelivable.I waited for it to come up, was observing the Moon in the mean time once i thought Saturn was visible i pointed my little 4 inch Cel toward it .Slowly i turned the focus my jaw dropped and i just stood there in amazment.I had to run inside to wake up the wife to come and have a look she was also amazed she thinks i'm mad but she was amazed.I stayed up until about midnight just overwhelmed buy it all.Why is it so differant when you look at a Planet or nebula or group of stars in a book or on the net you think yeh that looks awesome but when you see things live you spin out.I read some where when Galileo discovered Saturn he thought the planet had ears or handles. Scopes have come a long way since 1610.I could see a couple of the moons very very small but i did notice a small star or planet between Saturn and the Moon could anyone tell me what i was observing.
Thanks :hi::hi:
