Man, Jupiter was great last night. The GRS detail was outstanding as were the band details. I was in the backyard testing EPs and about 10-10:30 pm it just got perfect! 8O Best view to day so far I think.

Floyd,

Happy to hear about the great views of Jupiter you've been getting. Also read in another forum you were having good looks at it.

I have been pounding Jupiter myself every night lately too. Did you get a look at the "fifth moon" last week? Maybe if you are able to see the disks of the moons using your aperture, the extra star in the field didn't fool you.

Until the moon passes full and I can look at some DSO's again.
