On the night I took the telescope home it was so cold. Mum, Dad and I had to dress up in our jackets before we went outside.
The moon was hazy, so too much magnification meant it would be blurry. First we tried 22HM and found it was way too blurry so we tried 15HM and that was just right.
After looking at the moon we tried to find Saturn. We knew what we found was a star because when we put all the magnification on it was just a blue dot.
Finally we found it. We saw dots around it so they must have been its moons. Mum was the most keen to look. I had to position it so that Mum could see it when she looked.
Dad was the one who gave up and went inside first because he was too cold. He made the hot chocolate drink for us. He thought we were frozen ninnies for standing out there for so long on a freezing night.

for most people it's easy to tell who's who
