    The Kollsman instruments are not lightweight things, so even three might have been insufficient.  :-)

    I wasn't specifically looking for Saturn since this time of year the trees block the view of the ecliptic in that general direction.  Moon was just east of those trees.  I have taken a few shots of Saturn this year when she was about where the Moon was.  In a few weeks, I expect Saturn to pop out to the south before my bedtime and that will open up the possibility of also shooting it with a theodolite where the rings stand out.
