thanks Paul - yep, we need you back

thanks Sean - very generous comment. you will see better when it rises a bit higher and the guys with the bigger scopes get onto it.

thanks John. I think we will get a good view of this planet later this year.

thanks very much Ivan - yes, I guess Saturn is inherently sharp

Haah that explains it! looking forward to you guys up north getting some clear sky. enjoy the scope - looks like it will bring back many memories.
