After a few frustrating days with the C11, I went back to my C8. Focusing was very difficult with the C11 without a motorized focuser! The focuser of this old C11 is very jumpy! My NGF-CM will arrive next week so hopefully I can get back at imaging again with the C8.

Will be leaving for China on a business trip tomorrow. So no images from me for a week.

Seeing was around 7/10 last night with transparency at around 3-4/5. This has been a weird April for us as it has been very cloudy in the evenings!

The GRS is very enlarged with the ring of it's actual size visible in this image. The NEB is filled with faint rifts. While the rifts after the GRS are very much resolved. No details on Ganymede tonight!
