Well Jupiter was fantastic last night, the skies seemed to be really steady
even though we had a few passing clouds.
Thank you to Jenny and Steve for showing up to help with the Mobius event at
Franklin Park. Although I did not show up till 9pm
because of some technical difficulties. I set up and stayed till about 10 with
Jenny and Aioden.

Yes, I think very crummy skies at least from my backyard. Going to get out
tonight and see again, hoping hoping hoping!

I should also saw....it could also just be crummy skies :) The last time I had
my scope out was last Saturday, so I can't really compare my observations with
yours if yours are more recent. Get out and try again this weekend if you can.

Hmm what kind of scope? It could also be a collimation issue.

I will be taking a look at it tonight from Franklin Park.
But what John and Nick are saying is probably what is happening.

I was worried you’d say that The backyard is just so close and convenient
I have tried it from 9pm – midnight (go out every half hour).
So your seeing it clear lately then?

The river is high now, your theory makes sense. I suggest you test your theory
and try observing from a different viewing location - we have a couple viewing
events planned this weekend. Also you should test around midnight vs. near
sunset when the atmosphere is most active.

Hey, question to all Jupiter observers..
I’m in Post Falls, about a 1/2 mile north of the river. I have yet to get a
clean view of Jupiter, (going to try tonight again), I keep seeing this
contrast robbing glow around and in front of it.
Anyone else having this issue?
(not my scope, tried 2 scopes, all eyepieces clean, all optics clean, I can
even see it in my finder scope)
I’m wondering if it’s (it really looks like) a high ‘mist’ maybe from the river
spewing moisture in the warmth of the day, then the cold night condensing it
into like a thin fog?
Thanks!
Ron
