Just for a rough idea, Jupiter looks kinda like this in the scope (I tried
to layer and combine a glow with a Jupiter photo in a photo program)

Last night at the BLM Fishtrap dark site, there were four telescopes peering
a Jupiter and none of them had that glow around the planet's disk. The air
was fairly humid too (with Fishtrap Lake nearby)....

Hey, just curious on other's view of Jupiter this year.
I 'think' it's my location, I'm barely north of the river in post falls,
always a glow around and over bright objects. Even the moon has a big glow
around it naked eye, I 'think' it might be moisture from the river in the
atmosphere this time of year.
But two questions..
1. Anyone else see a glow around bright objects?
2. Here is a photo attachment of a photo I edited to look like Jupiter
looks in my eyepiece (minus the glow, just to show details I see) at just
over 200x, is this similar to what you guys are seeing in to your eyes, or
do you seem more or less?
