found junipter no problems, but was so bright could not see any banding, did see the 4 moons, but had a halo around them.....guess should check to see if mirrors are lined up. only had about 1 or 1 1/2 out, but it was a blast......just wish could of seen some banding on juipter but it was so bright. After putting all up thought I should of use or tried the moon filter. Get some dryerwall work done sat. (keep wife happy) may head back out to try again.

What focal length eyepiece did you use to view as I would have thought you should have seen at least a hint of banding with your scope.
