Jupiter puts on a show tonight (21/8)

[matt]

I didn't bother trying to image with the seeing the way it was...

but spent a very pleasant hour just doing some good ol' fashioned eyeballin'.

It was great. Forgot how much fun just popping an eyepiece in and having a squizz is. Was a nice sight in the 9.25 with Pentax XW-10. T'was my 1st double shadow transit

Had a great 3 Hours of very good seeing inspite of this problem.

I think the main issue with Jupiter would have been poor seeing...? 150x was pushing it here.
