That's good!
It's amazing how similar many of the first responses are about Saturn.
Out of about a dozen family and neighbours that I've shown Saturn to at different times, about 9 or 10 said almost word for word "Oh WOW! It's just like in the text book".
BobsYourUncle : Put out of your mind any of those high-colour images and planets and nebulae you would have seen over time. You will not get that kind of colour visually (ie without photography).
