That's some great observing with a 8 inch. Well done.
I love looking at these planets. Even though there is not really much to see l just think it's incredible we can see them and wonder. I gauge the seeing on if l can hold triton in the eyepiece in my 16" dob. Which is not very often in Perth skies.
It's fascinating to see how far it moves over a few hours during the night.
Cheers Curt.
