    The new 5mm and 6mm Circle T's from grumpymartian are superb! Great detail on Jupiter showing with the SW120ED. These eyepieces are keepers for sure!

      Good luck with the 15" tonight Gerry, its very cloudy here at the moment so no chance for now. Jupiter is nice and high so the views would be pretty good I'd expect :happy8:

    Into my second week of a holiday in Venice and have not seen a cloudy night yet, wonderful sky.  Last night we were crossing the Lagoon on a waterbus when a beautiful big red moon broke the horizon, it was truly lovely to see.  I used my phone to take a photo but the moon looked just ordinary and washed out with all the lights reflecting on the water, still it was nice to see.  Back home over the weekend, once sorted out I have a delivery from Wicks and can continue the rebuild of the garden observatory and probably clouds :)
