Jupiter's moons 4/3/13
Came back from sporting exertions in London last night to find clear skies and a suggestion, by ronl on my first light post, that 2 of Jupiter's moons should be visible with my bins. I had previously found Jupiter very hard to focus on so popped out (10.15) and really concentrated on microscopic focusing movements and was thrilled to see 2 small specks on either side - 1 at 10.30 and the other opposite at 4.30. Now just a case of finding out which they were... Actually, having checked Stellarium it looks like they were Europa at 10.30 and Ganymede at 4.30. By the look of Stellarium I might also have been able to see Callisto too - must remember the 7 Ps and check what is out there first.
