It was interesting to see the four moons all lined up on one side like that. It was slow and yellowish, and its magnitude was somewhere between Polaris and Capella. Cassini's division was immediately obvious without trying. I didn't concentrate enough to look for dimmer ones. Amazingly, it was still a razor sharp image.
Thin haze seems to be encroaching from the north now, and the sky is brightening.
Actually, it now looks like a typical night at the Peak. I also begin to notice some wide, lingering contrails. Eventually they shut them off and begin opening doors, the trunk, and generally exercising all the white lights built into the car. I showed them Saturn at high power, M42 wide-field, the Trapezium, and M37. We talked about their unidentified scope and its broken eyepiece.
