Saturn is tough work. The size of the image produced by a 1000mm scope
is roughly 0.006-0.008" at the focal plane. The angular diameter of
Saturn is only about 15-20" of arc.

The last part for my Meade 395 90x1000mm telescope arrived in the mail
this morning (the 6x30mm finder scope), so it is now complete and ready to use.
But it may have to wait until September as the sky is generally overcast
around here from late afternoon to morning. Just as well, as the celestial
features I would like to look at and photograph are generally in the Winter
sky. Except that Saturn is currently visible.
That overcast also keeps us warm though the night, so there's more than
one reason to want it gone.
