Hi Torr

Great first experiences - and well done for knuckling down and getting grips with collimation. it's a must-have skill for all telescope owners, but especially for newtonians.

Saturn is fairly low for us right now, and requires steady seeing to see the cassini division clearly. The rings are also closing up (ring-plane is more edge on), making it even more difficult to clearly see the CD.

I just put my wet scope back in the shed, it dries out the next day. Just leave the covers off and cases open.
