    The storm thats happening on saturn is supposed to be a spectacular sight and can be seen in a medium sized telescope (apparently). Well I've just upgraded to a CPC800 and I can't see it at all. Just wondering if anyone has any pointers for me or is my telescope too small?

    i have the same scope and i can see the dark patch which is the storm but to see it i use a x2 barlow and lower powered eyepieces like the 4mm and 6mm.using the 40mm eyepiece you get with the scope you wont see it.

    You can capture it with Astrophotograpy, but you'll need pretty good seeing conditions to see it visually!

    Not like the seeing we're getting the past few weeks :(
