happy 350th birthday.
On the 25th of march 1655 Christiaan Huygens discovered saturns mon 'titan'. It amazing to think that this was such a long time ago.
He Used a home made 57mm refractor at about 50x magnification. This is the equivalent of say your typical department store 60mm and a 12mm eyepiece.
So who here has a small enough scope to replicate this discovery? I am going to drag out my lil' ebay scope, dust it down and try on the 25th to duplicate the discovery. how bout you guys?
