Great work there, Brian!
We had the 3 youngest Grandkids over for a Viewing and Dinner Party.
I set up the Binocular Mount in the Driveway and we took turns looking through the 20X-80mm 's.
I and the Step-Son could see the planets, and Jupiter's moons without aid as the sky darkened.
But alas, very soon it set, and all were hungry. So we abandoned the event to fill our bellies.
I may try again tonight. But personally, I was disappointed. Not as bright as I had hoped. And not as close as I'd been lead to believe they'd be.
But it'll be 800 years until they get that close again. Maybe by then folks will be sitting on IO with front row seats. ;^)
