I was wondering if I could see Saturn's moons with my current telescope, a 15cm Aperture, 1000m Focal Length reflector. The highest mag that I can get, with my current eyepieces is 333x(a 6mm and a 2x barlow).
Even if you are observing in a city suburb with light pollution, you should be able to see Titan with averted vision. In good out-of-town seeing conditions, you should be able to glimpse Titan directly.
Saturn offers breathtaking viewing this time of year.
