This Saturday was a very great night for viewing. I saw things like Orion, Orion nebula, M45, Venus, Saturn, Meteors, and satellites. These objects were very clear in the sky. It was a little cold outside. But it was worth it. Also I had some of my friends come out there as well they were also amazed at what they saw. Most of them were looking at Saturn. Why? Because this was the night that Saturn was at its opposition. This means that even with a small scope you should be able to see Saturn's rings. Overall this was a great night of viewing.
