One of the greatest thrills of my life was seeing the rings of Saturn with my own eyes through a modest backyard telescope. Even with relatively low magnification, it’s amazing.

Yeah, I managed to see it with my 60X spotting scope, sharp and clear.

Had a helluva time finding it though. Good thing it was so bright.

The slightest touch would send the image quivering, was a challenge to view it.
