At last - the clouds have cleared in my part of the UK !!

Here is a drawing of Jupiter in my new C8 - I am VERY impressed with the optics in this scope.

The GRS is still showing a lot of turbulance.

Super sketch David...and with another new scope too

I like the detail you've picked up in the SEB. The rifting this year has been awesome. Sadly, the time I get out to look at Jupiter the GRS is on the other side. Think I've seen it only twice this year...just the way things are.

Thanks Guys.

Paul - Binos are well worth the money you can comfortably observe for ages.
