Me and Planet Saturn

Today I used my Bresser telescope for the first time.

My room window is Eastbound.

The sky was partly cloudy, the temperatures were quite autumn like. But I was sitting inside at my window.

I was lucky.

When I spotted the brightest spot available at the time, I realized soon after that it was the Planet Saturn. It showed a clearly visible white disc (the planet body), surrounded by an equally white belt disc around its belly.

To make sure, I checked the internet.

Saturn rose on the Eastbound night sky.
