If I may interject a question.  What do people look at when they say
they have seen Casssini's or Enke's division?  Seeing it in the right or
left "wing" is *MUCH* easier than at the center of the sight axis,
halfway between right and left.  Someone said you don't have to have
much of an eyepiece or scope to see the divisions.  That depends on
where you're looking.  So what is the accepted criterion for being able
to say you have seen both divisions?
