Too bad there was fog on Friday night for the Saturn watch. Tonight we started looking at the planet at about 6:15. It was a little chilly but the seeing was excellent until about 7:20 when some clouds started moving in. The view was spectacular both with our 90mm refractor and the 10" Dob. We used every combination of eyepieces and barlows that we have. We even tried a few color filters. I have never seen Saturn so clearly before. There is a lot to be said for winter observing. Larry
