Counting Moons

With the huge telescopes available to amateurs these days and the really clear skies in some areas of the country, I am wondering about the number of moons some of you have seen around Mars and the gas giants.

I've got a 10" and the skies where I live here in Baton Rouge are so polluted that sometimes I have trouble seeing our moon wink let alone more than two or so on Saturn and the four Jovians.

Good luck and good skies in '05.
