Thanks for the tips astro_nutt.

I could not resist. I dragged myself out of bed at 2:45am to check out Saturn. Seeing was not as good as earlier in the night, but still got a very nice view: Cassini div all the way around, C-ring (the faint inner ring), planet shadow on rings, and clearly defined banding on the globe. Best view at 200-230x. Thick clouds rolled in after about 15 minutes of viewing.

btw, 6mm Radian is a very nice EP. Usable right across the 60 degree field, very well corrected even in this f/4.7 scope, with only a little colour near the very edge.
