Saturn at 350x

The clouds cleared away at around 9pm, I braved the cold and dragged the beast outside for a quick look at the moon.
Not bad, but there was Saturn high overhead, my favorite target, calling me.
There was no way I was going to go back inside till I had a look. I am so glad that I did, the seeing was fantastic and I was able to keep increasing magnification till I was around 350x before saturn started to get a little soft.

I have to say, my back hurts, my feet are wet, my nose is running, but I had a wonderful time......I guess I am crazy after all.... grin

The things we won't do for those rare calm steady nights with great seeing. Most of us here are crazy too... in a good way.
