Heather WB5RMA and I were delighted by the view, even with simple binoculars. Superb!

Truly was awesome seeing two old friends, along with the Galilean moons and Titan, all in the same field of view, even at higher powers. And the waxing crescent moon had lots of great detail along the terminator. We had a few noobs I our back yard as well. I know that seeing Saturn’s rings for the first time is a memory I’ll never forget, and is always a Great thing to share with others.

Dragged out our Meade 8 inch S-C and had Jupiter and Saturn in the same field of view. Wonderful sight! And we had folks stop by, some of whom had never see a star or the Moon through a telescope before ever. That is always fun to be a part of, that first look through a scope. It’s part of the pleasure of doing this stuff. Nice moon view, too, as a bonus.
