I've been Director of 3 different observatories and the 4th largest planetarium in the colonies. <br /><br />http://www.childrensmuseum.org/themuseum/planetarium/index.htm<br /><br />In honor of your mother and your choice of Saturn as your God of the Week, I will fire up my Meade LX-200 10" telescope, attach my Olympus OM-1 and point it towards western Virgo, just a couple of degrees below Denebola, the second brightest star in the constellation Leo the Lion, where Saturn now resides. <br />It reached opposition on March 21st, when it was at its closest point to Mother Earth. Weather permitting Saturday night after midnight, I will take a picture of Saturn and send it to you sometime early next week.

I used it often in my planetarium shows.James C. Wallace IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373678955007426557noreply@blogger.com
