Saturn is a beautiful planet. The history of its discovery can be found here.

Saturn is a special planet because of its rings. It is my favourite object to observe with a telescope. The figure below shows its ring struction and its moons.

Saturn rotates and its ring evolves with time (see the figure below). Therefore, we will see different appeareancs.

More interesting features could be found in the wiki page.

Saturn has a few rings. There is a gap between two big rings. It is called "Cassini division" named after its discoverer.  I always wanted to see it, but never succeeded until last night. I bought a second-hand ZWO electronic eyepiece at XianYu and it took me 600 RMB. Here are a couple of pictures I took the other day. I think I do see Cassini division eventually although they are not very clear (so you have to zoom in to see it..:D ).
