First light on skywatcher 200mm

New scope, first view this evening. Not the best seeing with low broken easterly cloud. Still, seems to be very good. Nice view of Jewel Box in crux even though it was low on the horizon, colours of stars very obvious. 47 Tucanae clear and bright, even Jupiter looked good at twilight before it disappeared behind trees - I thought I could make out faint cloud band at 40X. All in all I'm very pleased with it and cant wait for a clear night...
