Hi Malcolm
I looked for it last night, I think I was looking at the right stars, one above the other, but for some reason I couldn't get more than a small pinpoint of light for them. Which raised a question as to whether my scope needs to be setup properly or something (maybe re-collimated?). Like for example, if I look without the scope I see the usual pinpoints of light, then when I look through the scope I see pinpoints of light. Hmmm... I haven't seen anything like the big bright orange thing I saw a few days ago (which I don't think was Canopus btw, having looked at the sky maps, Canopus is quite low in the s-se sky, right, whereas this orange thing was more south and high up, possibly Rigel?). I'm not sure if this is a collimation issue or something else, any advice would be appreciated.
Is it possible to see Saturn's rings with an 8" dob?
Thanks
A
