Hello,

Through my 12x50 binos, I can clearly see that Saturn is extended in the plane of the ring system. When I have the bino's mounted on my bino mount, my mind tells me, or interprets the image such that I can resolve the rings – only just. I am not certain if this is wishful thinking based on seeing the planet through a 'scope, or whether I am actually seeing the real extension of the rings.

The bino’s are Leica 12x50's so optically they are very nice.

Cheers

Dennis
