First attempt at Jupiter 18/08/2009...

Thought I'd post my first attempt at Jupiter last night through my 10" dob...

Seeing was terrible, I don't know if it was from nearby fire that happened few days ago or not but Jupiter looked hazey even in my 10mm Pentax (could clearly see the GRS last week).

Trying to focus and keep Jupiuter in FOV was like trying to balance a basketball on your nose! Not sure if there's an easier way or not but trying to keep the SPC900NC with a 2X barlow while it zooms by is quite a challenge. K3ccd slow refresh rate didn't help either

Any help, tips, feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks =)
