Good to hear it was a good night. Saturn is always special but even more so in really good seeing.

Thanks Les, yes it was the 40cm,I started the observation at around 01:00 but was unable to see the S/N but after going back quite a few times was able to see the S/N deffinatly about 02:00.
The galaxy was then nearly 30degs in altitude, so was a reasonable altitude.
I think if I had waited for another hour it would have been even better
