I just got in this morning from seeing Saturn for the first time ever through a telescope. It was through my Galileoscope, a cheap (but decent!) 50mm refractor.
I've taken up astronomy again for the first time since I was a kid, and it's been a lot of fun. I've been heading out nights with the scope, some binoculars and sky maps to learn the sky. So far through the scope I've seen Jupiter, the Moon, Albireo, and Venus. (Venus was yesterday, when I was trying to find Saturn...)
Saturn, though...that was something else. It was small, but I could distinctly see the rings. It was absolutely breathtaking. I've wanted to see Saturn through a scope for a long, long time, and it was incredible to finally do so.
