Did you remember to look at Saturn yesterday?
It was really pretty! I found it in 5 secs with my 25mm ep, then tried the 8mm Starguider and it was super clear. Unfortunately I don't think the photos I took in afocal mode turned out very well (it is rare to take good pics of Saturn in afocal mode with our scope, although last year I managed to take a couple of pics), and I could not use the Neximage as I was in an awkward position on the balcony. (This is the beauty of the SW by the way; you can really put in virtually anywhere, which unfortunately is not always the case with my refractor for example.) However, what I saw is still right in my mind and it was beautiful!
