Thanks for the comments, I will indeed collimate the scope at the weekend, but I wanted a look through it before then! There was a streetlight directly under Saturn and with he naked eye you could see a light haze that extended over the planet. Still, I could see the gap between the rings and the planet itself.
Is it possible to see the Cassini division with a 10" scope?
I learnt a lot in my first night (aligning the finder for a start!), but I have plenty of questions for the forum already!
