Saturn 6th April 2011

Hi all, got my first run at Saturn last night in calm dewy conditions. Some star twinkle up to 20 degrees. Saturn looked very steady through 5mm eyepiece. I used DFK and DMK with 2.5x barlow. I may have a retweek at these later. There are 3 (I think) satellites to the left of Saturn that are visible in the DMK image.

The first is DFK image.
