Yeah I saw Jupiter over the weekend when I was out in the boat. Looks very bright, another couple of months and it will be at opposition. Saturn is also getting higher each day, but much slower. Tried to image it a week ago, but clouds got in the way, so I just tried to observe it through my scope. It was the first time that I have seen it through this particular scope. Even with a barlow it was still a little small. Must get a 5x so that I can image it on the LPI.
Exciting times ahead I hope. Another month I will be going over to my block over on Yorks and doing some serious astro stuff. Dark skies........
