Last night's seeing was pretty good. But with a late start and having to realign all my finders (and reattach my Telrad since it got knocked off), all I did was look at Saturn for about 45 minutes. I was able to get to 553x, and views were steady. Cassini Division and a hint of the Keeler gap. Even the Crepe ring made a showing. The planet itself showed its rugby colors, and five moons visible. A nice little session.
Good seeing is predicted for the rest of the week so I hope to get more time in, and to see if the outward blowing fan helps at all.
