I’ve viewed Saturn through other folks’ scopes in the past; the first time was through a Celestron (old-school) C11, and while the rings were clear and obvious, the entire object was small in a field of stars. Most recently viewed it during ArtPrize 2013 I think it was, from the lawn of the museum, through one of those big dobsonian reflectors.

World’s oldest telescope? [ Assyrian telescope? ]

Saturn.

A treasure! But I have never seen the C or creepe ring.

One Day I hope to.
