Hi Psyche,

When I recently looked at Mars through my 8" scope all I saw was an orange blob. Mars is getting further and further away everyday and like what Doug said the most prominent features are facing the other way. So not much to see there.

Juptier and Saturn is where you want your scope to be pointing at the moment. With you 4" scope you should be able to see Saturn's rings without any difficulty.

What eyepieces do you have?
