Last night I had little hope for being able to use the telescope, it had been cloudy and hazy all day. At around 10:00 PM I went outside to check and found the sky to the North and East relatively clear and I was able to find Saturn in my binoculars. So I took the telescope out for a better look (8" Dobsonian). I spent about 30 minutes using my two higher power eyepieces and was at times able to see reasonably clearly. I saw for the first time the brighter moons.
