After a marathon 8hr session the previous night imaging the planets plus Sculptor galaxy ( got to bed at 4am ) couldn’t stay inside and see a beautiful clear stable night go to waist , so dragged myself into the Dome, set up and imaged NGC 5139 Omega Centauri last night for an hour or so, then observed Saturn and Jupiter with my 12” Goto dob in the front driveway. I used my Televue Apollo 11 eye piece with a #80 blue filter , pristine detailed views of both planets especially Jupiters 4 moons like little bright flares behind the blackness of deep space, another great night down here ( a few cloudy nights ahead to recover from sleep deprivation )
