On the East side of Salt Lake Valley, we had sprinkles all evening with a heavy stretch of rain about 10 PM. I was afraid to put a scope outside to cool down, since there was a strong likelihood of soaking the thing. Gave up about 11, with no indication of clearing ahead. Anybody else have any luck? Michael
Did anybody have good seeing last night? I saw all three shadows of Jupiter's moons but could only use 100-125X due to mediocre seeing. It seemed that seeing was better around 8:30 to 9:00. I saw very clearly the Great Red Spot around 8:45 then went in the house till 12:45. Also tried to split Epsilon Canis Majoris but only saw a spike from the secondary. I need better conditions for this double.
