Well done!

Jupiter should have been up as well. Look to the East and you cant miss it.

saturn is great, but i believe that jupiter at 5am will blow you away with that same combo purely for surface detail!

well done, it is like your first you know what, once you have done it once, you want to keep doing it over and over again!
