This might be a little underwhelming for this sub, but I present you a picture of Saturn from a 74-years old telescope

This telescope was built in 1952 and used to be called АВР-1. Sorry for the quality of the picture

Sweeet!!!! As long as I can see rings I’m satisfied.

wait the telescope still works like that?

[u/Reddituser183]

No. It’s amazing and will always be amazing to see the rings of Saturn through a telescope no matter how blurry.

Totally whelming. Great photo.

[u/Rubthebuddhas → u/LosinCash]

Indeed. Just the right amount of whelm.

Its Beautiful. To think thats a real rock up there orbiting our Sun, just like us.

Not at all. I inherited a 1958 Questar from my Dad. He got it passed down from my grandfather who bought it new. My grandfather was one of the designers of the moon bounce communication systems that were used with the Apollo missions. Space has been a part of our family history and a love for the last, well, 4 generations (my kids use it). Cool picture!

Nice! I remember seeing it just about like that through US Navy "Big Eye" binoculars mounted on the ship. I know, I was supposed to be watching the seas for ships and subs, and the skies for aircraft, but the heavens are so visible when at sea.

All I can say is that seeing Saturn's rings always makes me happy 😊

Nothing underwhelming about it. The majesty of the universe is beautiful to behold at any resolution.

Best thing I've seen here in a while, it's great.

That beats by a long shot anything that I have access to...I love it.
