A fascinating read. This explains my difficulty in seeing the ring planet in my Celestron (8"). Last night as it rose the distortions where very evident and reduced as it got higher. At 10pm the moons where evident close to the planet in my 8" SCT but i could still see the image tearing. The best viewing was with a 21mm eye piece on the 2000mm focal length scope. With the 6mm eye piece it was very blurry and distorted. I guess I can only dream about seeing Saturn as good as shown here. Barry - Macarthur Astro.
