Subject: Saturn By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.69.8) Date: 02/19/2002 07:38:00 am PST First time I saw Saturn was through a Celestron 9.25 SCT. Looking at it through an AP155 is simply beyond words. If anything looked like a cover up by the government, this was it. It was like an alien world. Completely unreal, but completely the most amazing thing you'll ever see before you die. So make sure you make time to see it. Victims of a short life time - for whatever reason - won't miss anything else that life might have given them.

I have used a 4MM ortho on this planet, With breath taking views such that will fullfill any ones expectations.Iam able to clearly see the ABC rings, The shadow reflection on the rings color variations in the rings. The temperture zone the olive cap and the encke ring. AS well as seeing structure in the temperture zone. Iam a astronomer of 14 years. I have looked through several other scopes. But have not seen the detail that I see in my LX-10. Please if any one has seen a better image of this planet. Please email me at rickbarton53@hotmail.com I would like to know if its possible to achive a better image. Thanks Rick Subject: Saturn By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.96.200) Date: 07/26/2002 10:26:16 pm PST PS I forgot to include cassini divison on the detail I see .The space is pitch black and well separated.

Subject: Saturn is Gorgeous By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.4.123) Date: 12/13/2005 07:23:13 am PST Even in my tiny 60mm telescope I can see the rings and the moon Titan.On a good night I can see the cloud layers(somewhat)and sometimes the Cassini Division(difficult though). Subject: Saturn+Beehive=.... By: Anonymous (xxx.xxx.4.123) Date: 02/22/2006 07:16:41 am PST One night,using my little 60mm Telescope,I saw Saturn and its rings right next to the dazzling open cluster M44,or the Beehive!WOW!It was an amazing sight.I didn't even want to zoom in on Saturn because the cluster made it look so nice.
