Observing Saturn

Newbury Park, CA

We setup scope in well lit parking lot at S. Reino and Borchard.
Marine layer rolling in so transparency was bad but at least
a few people had the first sight of Saturn, etching the view in
their memories permanently.

That's what the first sight of Saturn does it to everyone :)

G11 mount on Losmandy FHD tripod
Astro Physics BARCON (3.2x, 1.25x OCA included)
