Saturn in our backyard ...
.... ok, in the telescope in our balcony.
After months of clouds, it was finally clear sky today. We had kept the telescope outside to get it cool down and were thinking about going out to see Saturn, actually thinking about not going because it was so cold. Then I went out, thinking that the direction is right, Saturn should be in the direction of our balcony and there were a couple of bright things showing. So then as the telescope was anyway outside, I just pointed it to the most Saturn-like thing and that was it!! And we could clearly see the rings from 10mm lense, though not the colours. And there were 2 bright things near it, donno if any of them was its moon. Need more studying to figure out.
