Default Saturns rings

It sure is.
in a 40x eyepiece it appears about the size of a pin head,however at 80x
and up it is gorgeous.An 8 inch scope really brings it up.At 200x it
appears about one half inch at arms length-still small but you can see the
shadow of the planet on the rings as well as cassini division.Dont settle
for some small scope get as large a one as possible use medium to high
power 200-400x and enjoy!
