You can see several of Saturn.s moons with a 150mm scope at 150x to 250x. The tricks are they'll look like stars (little pinpoints), they'll move from night to night, they orbit in the same plane as the ring, and some are pretty far away from the rings. Check out Sky & Tel magazine for the predicted position on each night. Last night I saw 4 in a 125mm refractor and 6 in a 400mm reflector.
