thanks for the report. 7009 is on my list for the next night out.

there must have been a stable air mass travelling up the country because we had jaw dropping views of jupiter around 11pm on saturday (12th). an incredible amount of detail, and the image was rock solid. I don't normally take my scope past 166x, and views at 250x are usually a bit too blobby, but I could have pushed it a lot further. my collimation was pretty good as well, which helped no end.
