It was pretty nice out there last night. We got out there a little after 7:00. Luka showed up later, not sure of the time, not too much later. Luka was imaging Jupiter much of the night. Be interesting to see what he gets, may have something for next month's meeting? Jerome came out sometime after 9:00. Temperature was in the mid 20's and it didn't feel too bad. A little wind, but a warm wind. ;D
I was trying out my new scope, a 12 inch solid tube dob, Apertura, same as the Zhumells. Pretty much concentrating on Messiers and Jupiter. I think I do like the scope. 😀 Quite a bit of detail on the Orion nebula. I was able to find M32 and M110 by M31 with no problem. Also able to pull in M33. Messiers, M1, M35, M36, M37, M38, M45, M31, M32, M110, M33, M57, M42, M81, M82, also Jupiter and Albireo.
We left about 11:00 and Luka was packing up when we left. AGNFA.
