I was out looking last night.. through the 7mm Pentax earlier in the evening (between 9-10pm) the view was great, stunning even.
At 10pm when the transits started, I tried swapping to the 4.7mm and the image just wasn't holding up at 250x, so I didn't bother getting the laptop out. As the night got later (11pm+), the seeing got even worse, so my judgement to "not bother" was justified.
The best views were with the 7mm Pentax at around 10pm just as the shadow transit started, and for the first 20 minutes or so of it. It was a very pleasing view.
I tried to spot Red Jr later on, but the seeing had deteriorated so badly that even with the 7mm at 180x it was mush and I could barely even make out the GRS anymore.
