Good Bye to Jupiter 5.30.03

Hi,

The sky had cleared as the sun set in the Northeast. I was able to catch Jupiter while it was still light out. At this point I was just happy to get some telescope time between clouds.

Anyway, attached is a drawing made without artificial illumination.

Sol, your drawings never cease to amaze me! I just hope my new Burgess 128 will give half as good images as what you are getting with the Synta. As a matter of fact, if it does, I may seriously consider getting their 6" APO when it comes out.

Sol,

A great observation of Jupiter showing much detail. This may be your last one for the current apparition. It has been a memorable one.
