Mike, no just missed the GRS by 1 hour, so sorry only got the boring side of Jupiter.

Ving I have been waiting for 8 months for that sort of seeing. Just keep waiting it will happen for you.

Mick, at one stage I had the 5x power mate in and the 20mm Meade in and I could clearly see the bands and festooning. That was at 625x, I used the Nagler with the 3x televue barlow and that was even better at 833x. The televue EPs and equipment are really worth the money.

I am so stoked about last night, I feel on top of the world after 6 hours sleep. This is an amazing hobby and after 32 years it still catches me by surprise. I will process more avis during the weekend and over the next week, see what I can get to you all.

Thanks chaps.
