Hi Tom, et al;
I was viewing Jupiter at about 11 PM with the TV 102 and a 6.7mm eyepiece.
It was lots of fun. I had good seeing at Antennas and the two shadows
were excellent. I liked that one was so much larger than the other.
Also, there was a festoon that curved from the North Equatorial Belt
toward the equator. I did not take any images, but I am happy with my
drawing.
My disappointment from last night was that the 35mm f/2 camera lens I
tried out was not good. The stars in the outer 40% of the field are all
comet shaped. I will have to return it when I get back into town.
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
