First look at Jovian Giant
OMG, I actually decided to stay up tonight and take a look at Jupiter with my new GSO 8" Dob.
All I can say is I am getting more and more hooked on this looking up stuff.
I also hunted down the Jewel Box Cluster which is really amazing.
And got my first look at Alpha Centauri. That is some sight too I must say. All these years thinking that it is only 1 star there but the sneaky little bugger has a baby brother right next to it. Amazing.
Too bad my night was cut short by clouds, because the moon was just getting into view, that and the horde of mozzies. I reckon they like amateur astronomers as must as we like amateur astronomy.
