The rings of Saturn should be visible in even the smallest telescope at 25x. A good 3-inch scope at 50x can show them as a separate structure detached on all sides from the ball of the planet. Source. The best time to see the planet Saturn in 2013 will be in late April and May. Source
In large telescopes, the polar regions of Saturn take on an olive-green color. It is interesting to observe the pattern of shadows on Saturn.
