Just think Dolalu, you may see Saturn a thousand times more, but nothing compares to your first telescope view, not even pictures in glossy magazines. You seen it with your own eyes....well done. Imagine (and some may correct me on this) saturn is over 740 million miles away, and there it is in your eyepiece :shock: .....not known for my mathimatical skills by the way...

congrats!!! you should look up the post on the site of peoples best observing expiriences. saturn features heavily.
wait until you get to view it in a giant scope!! ive viewed it through an 11" ( thanks for the view Michael Murphy) and its stunning.
try looking for andromeda (M31) the next clear night. the veiw of andromeda galaxy, which when you think its a giant galaxy with billions of stars and planets and a giant black hole at the center, its incredible. visible at a distance of over 2.5 million light years!!!
