[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 766356, member: 26505"] @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-13196-hark.html"]hark[/URL] Teeny-tiny dot until you enlarge it some, and with poor sky conditions you might get a small, oddly shaped blob. That is when you know you have Saturn in view. Enlarge it a little more, and you can see the rings. When you spot Saturn in the sky, it is a small, dim dot that looks like a star, and it is easier to find when it is near something like the moon or a constellation. Once you find it, you can always find it. Use Live-View and zoom in. Tonight, it is rising at about 7:45 and is near Jupiter. I have an app called Sky Guide on my phone to ID objects that I don't recognize. Right now, I am standing on top of Saturn. ;) When I locate my Saturn images, I'll post one to show you what it looks like before enlarging it.
