Thanks Col and Matt after reading your post downloaded stellarium, seems like a great app..
Had the best first night it was totally clouded over had dinner stuck my head outside and clear skies couldn't believe it, grab the scope quick setup than look straight at the moon couldn't believe how bright it was through the e/p. Took a few minutes to regain my eyesight put moon filter on much better.
Moon looked incredible, than tried to find Saturn, bit of a fuzzy blob was a bit let down went inside to get iPad to make sure I was looking in the right spot came out had to centre the blob again and BANG SATURN Perfect rings daughter and I were amazed....
Thought I would try Jupiter, first go ,focus in and I could make out the bands couldn't believe it,l can't wait to try for one of its moons maybe casting a shadow on to the planet..
Anyway sorry long post but really pumped, it was a great first night especially to peak my daughters interest..
