Hi Alga, I don't see Jupiter till later because I can't stay up till the early hours of the morning and my eastern horizon is unavailable, light pollution, ridge line and trees on my back fence. The city is over that way so anything below about 60 degrees is lost in the glow. My best view line is WNW to due Sth. I'll reserve my good viewing for my dark site up in the Waitakere's. Plan is to collect a good portable setup with some alignment aids and power things from the car.
I did a bit of pruning in the garden over the weekend which opened up some sky to me from a sheltered concrete platform which will one day be part of my Pizza oven. View won't be quite as good but easy access will let me experiment at home for best practice.
