hey guys i have just taken my bintel dobsonian 8inch telescope outside, looking at Jupiter and it is pretty fuzzy,

Usually i leave my scope out for 15-20mins to get to outside temp.
is this normal to be fuzzy until it is about outside temp??
thank you

That would be pretty normal, as the mirror is cooling down it is radiating heat and this will fuzzy up your views.
