Resolving Titan?

How many here have resolved Titan as a complete disc with color.
What sized scope was used?
Did it show as a full disc like a smaller Mars?
I saw Titan last Saturday night with a clarity that I have never seen before. It was smaller than Mars, but it still looked like it. The color almost looked like banding or mottled in apearance.
Have you seen it look this way.
I am asking because I have never heard anyone say they have seen this in the past.

Hi Floyd,

Yes, with my 14" Pierre Schwaar newt. Very similar to your description. Varying results (seeing) from 350 to say, 850 mag.

Thanks, John
