Thanks Doug one thing that really caught my eye was the EQ band. I've never seen it as well defined as yesterday, even the night before with better seeing and higher mag.

Unfortunately, the poor seeing meant that I couldn't see the moons disk against the planet. I suspect in near-perfect conditions, with magnifications above 200x it would've been possible. (one problem with Jupiter is it doesn't handle anything above 200-250x well).

btw Doug, what telescope did you see it in?
