Hi,

Had OK conditions for Jupiter observing. Filters for this were a PC Beta filter screwed into the e.p. barrel and a blue filter placed on top of the eye lens simultaneously. The PC Beta filter gives a neutral rendition by balancing 3 transmission peaks, (RGB). It is the only filter I know of that can be used with another filter without the image mushing out.

Very nice work, as usual. I have one from saturday night that I'm going to post as soon as I get a good picture of it. I'm staying up to catch Mars this morning, I hope the seeing holds.

"Though parted by a gulf more impassable than any sea, the telescope lets us traverse what otherwise had been barred and lands us at last above the shores we went forth to seek. Real the journey is, though incorporeal in kind. Since the seeing strange sights is the essence of all far wanderings, it is as truly tavel so the eye arrive as if the body kept it company."
