Saturn, in particular is excellent for that - you can really see more visually than with the camera most of the time. It hasn't been quite that cold down here in north Georgia - 50F last night. Hope you get a bit more warm weather. Welcome back – I’ve been doing a bit more visual observation lately.

I personally make it a rule never go observe below 20°. So I guess I should stay in the south? Yikes. I personally make it a rule never go observe below 20°. So I guess I should stay in the south?

I've found that working with the scope during the day on things like that helps me figure out stuff without having to worry about tracking or other things - work on one thing at a time.
