My first view of Saturn with a new telescope. The image was taken with a cheap digital camera through a 15mm eye piece. (This was before purchasing other imaging devices). The image looks a million times better when viewed with an eye rather trying to balance an 8 year old camera to the eye-piece of a huge telescope. 10" Reflector on a badly aligned equatorial mount and imaged with a cheap 0 Nikon cool pix point a shoot camera on movie mode.The Planet Saturn through a 15mm eye piece of a telescope on 3/6/2009 using a Celestron C10-NGT C10-NGT C10NGT C8-NGT C8NGT Saturn is easily visible with the naked eye. The Romans called the planet Saturnus, the god of the harvest. Galileo first turned his telescope on the planet in 1610, and first discovered that the planet had rings that looked like ears. Galileo didn't realize what he was looking at, and thought the rings were large moons on either side of the planet. Years later Huygens used a better telescope to see that they were rings. Cassini found the gap in the ring band, now called the Cassini Division. Pioneer 11 was the first spacecraft to visit Saturn, getting within 10000 miles of the planet's cloud layers. It was followed by Voyager 1 in 1980, and Voyager 2 in August 1981. In July 2004 the Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn, and produced the most detailed exploration of the planet and it's moons.
