Very impressive. I looked for it yesterday but there was too much cloud low on the horizon. I’ll look again today, but right at the moment it’s raining heavily and looks set to continue all day. I’ve never seen the rings of Saturn but hopefully with binoculars I may be able to. I won’t try and photograph it as that is doomed from the start.
