Wohooo... the clouds cleared a bit more.. and there it is, clear as day, a golf ball floating across the surface of Jupiter.
The best view was with the Zeiss 4mm w/Zeiss barlow. The view is crisp, and I can see graduation on one edge of IO. The Takahashi 2.8 is sharp as well, but the Zeiss Abbes just have a touch more contrast that you notice in the bands which just keeps you bringing them back.
I tried the Tak 2.8 with the barlow, but there is too much haze/cloud. I think this will be doable under clearer skies.
I kept watching until it "left the planet".
Awesome first light
