I got a good view of Jupiter Tuesday night. The SEB was very clear at 128X. We didn't stay up for Io's shadow because the seeing was going south. Also, got good splits on Theta Aurigae, Rigel, Castor, Gamma Delphini, Delta and Iota Orionis, and of course the Trapezium in the Orion Nebula. It took me a little longer to find things since I didn't have a red-dot finder yet. I can't wait for a night of good seeing. Hopefully by the weekend I can take another look. Debbie
