Would you say seeing was good tonight, then?
I was just out at Luskville Falls, and I was having a lot of trouble on Jupiter, not very good views.?
I think i was having trouble with fogging/dew on my mirrors and eyepiece. With my eyepiece eyecup rolled up, I started getting an aura around Jupiter. Not so much with it rolled down. I got the same effect from huffing on the eye lens. So my eyeball was fogging the eyepiece lens?!
The outside of the tube was wet with dew, and there was a light mist on the ground as well.? I guess I need a fan or something to keep the tube warm while observing.
To anybody familiar with observing at Luskville Falls: the field east of the parking lot with the picnic bench; I assume that¡¯s the preferred spot? It was my first time observing in that area.
