Well, I finally got a look at Saturn with her slimmed down rings. Cool!
I've never seen the rings like this, as they were tilted wide open when I got my first scope.
Looked like a yellow ball with a big needle stuck through it.
Seeing was not great, looking over my neighbors' heated homes,
so a 5mm T6 (132x) was about as much magnification as it would handle in my NP-127.
The 3.5mm (188x) was getting a bit mushy and 2.5mm (264x) was downright blurry.
Still it was fun trying.
I went to sleep shortly thereafter with the image melting into my mind.
