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. -Adam? |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAttilla ¨C What scope were you using for Jupiter tonight?? And from 8:30 ?when the seeing was good to now when you say the seeing has become quite poor, what maximum mags were you able to use? ? I was just trying out a new to me 25 year old Antares 120mm f8.33 objective in a home made refractor.? At about 9:30 to 10pm, Jupiter was good up to 140x (7mm eyepiece) to 200x (5mm EP) before empty magnification set in.? But I don¡¯t know if this was the quality of the optics or the seeing that was the limiting factor. ? Best ¨C Michael ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

I just joined this group this morning since my wife is tired of listening to me talk about (and spend money on) Astronomy.? I was imaging on the 5th and 6th.? From what I remember the seeing was poor on the 5th and non of my pictures turned out.? The 6th was much better but I still could only stack less than 20%.? My pictures of Jupiter and Saturn are attached.? These are likely limited by technique vs the seeing.

Nicely detailed images. The color saturation is higher than my taste,
