Thanks, all. Sab, the seeing for Jupiter was fairly poor as it had only just risen above some trees on the eastern edge of my viewing area. So I could only get to 135X and it was still pretty fuzzy. I think there was still a fair bit of thin high altitude haze in that part of the sky as well. I could however make out the NEB, hints of the temperate bands and even a bit of a suggestion of something where the SEB normally is. But it was pretty ordinary.
Malcolm, I'd had a night like yours during the week, looking at the things I can find easily and quickly as I was dodging clouds the whole time. I'd end up with a glance at anything at best and it was very hard navigating when only a few stars are visible. BUT THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES!!!
Hope you all get to look at some stuff before moon intrusion.
