Yes, I think I'm just waiting for the best conditions and some concentrated viewing at Saturn's maximum elevation. (And for my 30x100s to come back next week - needed repair - the central mounting bar went funny!)

On 11th Feb, when Saturn reaches opposition, it should all become crystal clear - I hope!
