Nice work SAB.

Sounds like you have more experience at it than me, but I'll tell you just in case, whenever i look at Jupiter I always use my moon filter as this cuts the glare down and allows me to see some detail. I have only been able to see anything other than a white disk since i got my 5mm LVW, before that even with the moon filter there was no detail to be had.

M57 is, and has been since I found it the first time, by far my favourite object. On a clear night I can easily make out the ring (without diverted vision), and I don't have any filters, (apart from the moon one previously mentioned). It's much higher in the sky for me, and once again just highlights all the valuable lessons I have learned on this forum regarding, seeing etc etc etc. Can't wait to see it when I finally get a neb filter, (quite a while away as I have a few other things that are higher up on the list).

Once again nice report and thanks for sharing
