Wow! Incredible results you're getting for so early in the season.

I might even have a try tomorrow morning.

Yes, seeing was close to perfect. Would have been nice to have something at the zenith to look at :-) I did get some stuff on Saturn at 8pm last night, but I can't wait up till midnight for saturn to be at its best and still get up for Jupiter at 5am *and* work during the day...

I might be "working" with my eyes closed for part of today :)

That really is quite amazing, being so low in the early morning, can't wait till it gets a bit higher, the seeing must have been close to perfect for you.

Really very nicely done!

Very nice Bird,

Whats going on with the moon though? is it Ganymede? Looks a little squished?

I miss Joop...

Cheers

Yeah, it was squished alright... layers of air that I was looking through caused Jupiter and Ganymede to refract out into ovals...

cheers, Bird
