I figured out how to use star-charts for the first time, and on Friday evening I managed to see Saturn (complete with rings) through my telescope.

Any other astronomers here that could give me pointers at what I can look at next? I don't have a set of binoculars, so I'm just pointing at what I can see with me eyes.

I've been trying to see comet Lulin now since mendhak started his thread about it a while ago, though I would only be able to see it around the 22'nd, seeing as I'm in the southern hemisphere, and that I have massive trees blocking just about every single observation angle. I recall reading that Lulin will be close to Saturn between 21 and 24 Feb, so this will be my "window of opportunity".
