Gorgeous clear night in Kendal tonight, the Moon looked spectacular in my 4.5" scope. Took some pix, didn't turn out too bad...
Saturn looked really nice too, with at least 3 of the "other" moons visible. ![]() -------------------- |

Uranus is quite easily seen to be something other than a star even in 20x80 binoculars. I had the Galilean satellites in nice crisp focus, but that pesky bluish star north of Jupiter just wouldn't come into as sharp a point. (Funny, you don't look bluish!)
