I only had a few hours last night, very patchy dark cloud cover.

I managed a good view of the moon. Couldn't locate any nebs or galaxies (probably cause i still don't know what I'm doing).

Jupiter was not visible through the clouds.

How big should venus look though 9mm plossl without barlow? It wasn't really big enough to make out any shape or phase. The diffractions lines were dominant. (Don't know how to insert picture)

Will Jupiter be a decent size through a 9mm without a barlow?

I think I will return my 30mm, and swap it for a 6.5mm

I was a little disappointed with my first viewing.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
