Not here it ain't. Lovely view of the full moon and Saturn (with four
moons once we got the telescope out - but the rings are edge on so not
visible).

Ummm, you sure that wasn't Jupiter? Titan is the only moon of Saturn
readily visible in small scopes, TAAW it sets about the same time as
the sun at the moment. Jupiter would have been due south a bit after
8pm last night.
