Certainly my fave planet. The first time I saw it was through my Tasco 4.5" Reflector, and even though it was tiny I could clearly see it has a ring. I tried using the 4mm eyepiece/contact lens (gives you some idea of what zero eye relief feels like) but it was difficult to see much, so I used a lower power.

As for Barlows, I found my GSO 2 x Barlow made things more blurry and really dimmed the light, so I no longer use it.

At the moment Saturn is the first thing I look at when I get my scope out.
