Saturn in October
Well-placed in the Evening Sky
Saturn was in opposition to the Sun this past July . As autumn begins, the
ringed planet will be in the south at sunset. It’s always a treat to see the rings. I
am amused at the reaction when someone gets a look for the first time.
Oh yes, it is quite possible to see Saturn’s rings, even in a small telescope.
But you might need a little guidance if you have not tried before. Sky & Telescope
magazine offers this help.
