Braved the cold Friday night to test out my new 2x barlow. Managed to take some images despite the less than average seeing(relative humidity 99%). Mars shows Sytris Major at 270*Longtitude. Jupiter sinking in the west sky has Io hiding near the red spot while Europa casts its shadow on the Jovian surface.
As you can see the images aren't that sharp but interesting none the less.:)

Anth, you still managed under the less than perfect conditions to capture some good detail. Dedicated astrophotographers will test out their new equipment given any available opportunity. Well done for braving the cold and high humidity while many of us were comfortable and warm inside! ;)
