Looks ok but the seeing is something to be desired, even at first glance I can see really intense twinkling of those stars, I bet Saturn wouldn't look to good tonight around here.

Just had a look outside. It was cloudy but within 3 mins the clouds vanished. There is no twinkle from the stars so i'm guessing its perfect seeing.

Gonna check out Saturn again in a few mins with L'il Bess (my scope).

yes bloody typical, dismantled the LX200 and 15 minutes later it cleared, and it had been out for an hour cooling down :( .
