Seems like a familiar scenario Peter.
Mine similar.
My surveying lecturer way back in 1994 (Cretaceous Period) helped me learn gaining azimuth from using the sun and stars using observational tracking whilst using the old almanac and UTC via dial up from Greenwich.
After one late evening prac , pointed the theodolite to Saturn - I remember the rings phase was edge on, just as it is now….I too was hooked!
