One guy reported, that 12(bands) on Saturn were counted
in a 7" APO at 175x(only!).
I can remind, that Saturn's globe typically is 17" in diameter
only. And at least 1/5 of it's globe is polar region (where no
zones seen).

If we remember, that zones are not equal in wide, then some
zones should be not wider, than 1/2"!

Should I believe to such observations? Interesting, how many
bands can be counted on Saturn globe on Hubble pictures? :-)

In my house I use smoke detectors to detect smoke. I have a CO detector in
the garage because of the kerosene heater. But for optics, Valery is a human
BS detector. The alarm sound may be a bit like the smoke detector (which is
intended to wake you up if needed), but it works.

Yeah Valery, that report sounds a bit much. I suspect all of us have
convinced ourselves we saw something we really didn't, but some get more
carried away.

BTW, did you see http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040117.html
