Ok, I'm not an expert on seeing, but I just had my best ever view of Jupiter from my balcony. I had my 8" Dob and my little Megrez 80 set up side-by-side. Once they cooled down, the views through both were great, albeit a bit colourful with the Megrez.

Tried out my 5mm Radian (swapped with my 6mm recently) to give 240x on the Dob. This was the perfect magnification for me tonight. Tried to push it higher with the 3-6mm Nagler zoom, but 240 was the most stable, and the Radian gave a more pleasing view.

Also scanned the area with my recently acquired 13mm Stratus. Very nice views indeed. Suspect this will be quite spectacular in a dark sky.

If Mike Salway and others are out imaging tonight, we're all in for a treat when their processing is done.

Hope you're all out their enjoying the night instead of reading this! Why am I writing this? I need to go to bed so I can get up early tomorrow, but I had to share first!

Cheers
