Notes
Finally a planet. After nearly six months of skywatching, a planet swings into view on a clearish night and I pried open the fog and cloud to see it.
Saturn was beautiful, a dun coloured smudge at low power, but easily seen at high power with the Barlow. Ring structure was clear enough, but the conditions weren't good enough to make out any distinguishing features. It just looked like a little planet painted on the sky. Seeing Saturn is unreal. If we get clearer nights, I'll try to pick off some of the moons; Titan at least.
