Hi,
Once again the target is Jupiter. In fact it was my only target. How I wish I could shoot out all those crazy lights!!!!!!
Anyway Thanx to Clive I'm using a prism diagonal and it's been grand. The atmosphere was roiling and the roiling was visible even as low as 72x (12.5 uo ortho) but wonder of wonders the great red spot was still clearly visible. I didn't have to look hard it just popped out. The full oval was visible. I upped it to 225x and then to 163x ugh the atmosphere mushed it (those powers have generally been really pleasant on most nights but tonight the atmosphere didn't support it.) I think that the spot would have been visible at 50x-60x but I didn't have the eye piece to get any powers bet 39x and 72x.
I love this EON thanx Mr. Rieck and my hat is off to you Clive for the prism info.
