Saturn in my sights

wow....happy me. I have spent the last 2 nights outside with my new favourite hobby and Saturn. He looks so amazing just hanging up there. I love my telescope!!!
I was viewing with a 4.5inch Newt at 225x mag with my 4mm eyepeice but that was proving to be rather a strain on my eye. But it was good fun. I switched to a 12.5mm and a 3x barlow to get similar magnification but its a cheapie and nasty barlow so not such a good view. I think i'll have to get a good quality barlow and maybe a better eyepeice for eyestrain too. Still, this is my first planet sighting and I am heaps pumped.
