A view of Saturn which was absolutely mind-blowing - quite literally "out of this world", and its rings (wonderfully clear and a first for me and Anna), through our 18-55x telescope, in the night sky, quite high in the south-east night sky. Amazing!
NB. If you want to know where Saturn is in the night sky at present, look at the moon, it's the nearest bright "star" to the moon. (Only of course, it is not a star - and it doesn't 'twinkle' like all stars do. Saturn will disappear behind the moon on Friday evening - a very rare event, and bound to be a spectacular sight through telescopes...)
