Saturn Opposition

On January 29, 2010, we saw Mars come into opposition.  This means that Mars was completely opposite the Sun in reference to Earth, and thus roughly at its closest point in orbit to us. While Mars is now moving away from us (still within the constellation Cancer), we have Saturn coming into opposition.  Sunday evening will be a great time to view Saturn as she'll be at her approximate closest point to Earth in orbit. 
As the Sun sets in the West, Saturn will rise in the East, appearing as a bright yellow star, and climbing to her highest by midnight.  Saturn provides spectacular view in even a small telescope.  Any power over 30x will begin to provide views of her rings.  If conditions are right and your gear allows it, you may be able to see the moons, the shadow that the rings cast on the planet's surface, and even the Cassini Division.  The image below is about how I saw Saturn last night with pretty bad seeing conditions at 150x.
