I wheeled the dob out of the shed at ~ 5.30pm. A quick look at Jupiter while it was still light, no cool down (from shed admittedly), no collimation check; and Jupiter was the sharpest I've ever seen it since getting the scope. I still can't see anything more than 2 bands and a round ball, but it was quite sharp just the same. This was great. I looked forward to some good viewing later but by the time the kids were in bed, it was just mush, no cloud or wind, but I could barely see anything. Do these nights of good seeing ever really happen for the f/5 crew?
