Hello again Guys.
Don't know if anyone is still following this thread but I thought I would update you on my look at Jupiter and Saturn.
I am very please to announce that the scope works very well as a planetary scope.
For the first time I was able to see detail in the cloud bands on Jupiter, though I am not sure if I saw the Great Red Spot. I was only able to see details for a few seconds at a time in moments of good seeing and I was not particularly looking for it, even though I discovered later that it was at the meridian during my observing time.
Just thought I'd let you know how I went.
Michael
