As I was observing Saturn the last few nights with the $20 114mm Meade I recently bought at a yard sale I remembered how Saturn has changed my life. Seeing the rings of Saturn for the first time made me feel my life had been a waste up to that moment. Building a Bill Kelley 6" tweeked mirror scope came next. An over-the-hills hippie at Snow Canyon State Park looking at Saturn through that scope had a religious experience. (I don't think she was on drugs). I wish I had been running a tape recorder every time I was showing Saturn to someone. A women at Capital Reef shrieked "OH MY! OH MY!" several times almost as if she was having multiple orgasms as she looked at Saturn. I was in someone's living room who was almost crying as he was selling me his 13" scope when his very angry wife said "Once you have looked at Saturnonce why do you ever need to look at it again!?" She had given him a "It's the scope or me!" ultimatum. I felt guilty taking it from him. I've wondered how that decision worked out for him. Even the relatively poor view I have been getting the last few nights still gives me joy. Deloy Pierce
