Hi all,
During last weekend of March I drove on southern Tuscany to relax myself and I also brought my scope given the nice weather forecasted.
On Friday 28 a 100 km/h jetstream overhead turned a steady Saturn as smooth but on the following night it died down enough, so I had a fairly good seeing.
Moons all way around looked like small diamonds at the eyepiece! What a nice view!
No spots detected over the 2 nights at these longitudes, but I'm amazed indeed in having captured the weak Enceladus moon so close to the bright Saturn disc and, above all, the even weaker Mimas "shining" at 12.8 magnitude with a filtered exposure as short as just 60 msec!
Transparency was excellent and the sky ink black, no wind and no dew at all.

Thank you for your attention.
