Jupiter was very low and almost on top of my neighbors roof... I could NOT focus accuratedly no matter what I tried... SIGH...

Oh well, as a consolation we were lucky enough to see it, and well, we can still do it again, 13 years from now... LOL!

Clear skies!

Ivan,

That's much better than mine. It was quite a thrill just being out there trying anyway. It was a view I'll remember for quite a while.

I agree with you Ivan. It was great just to be able to see it. I did find looking more satisfying than imaging (although I tried) as the seeing was juat awful. Based on my view your image is excellent! Congratulations.
