First sight of Jupiter this year

And it wasn't a particularly good one since the seeing was pretty awful - Jupiter was boiling a fair bit. However it's one of (if not the) favourite object for me, so it was good to see it again after a long gap. 

Also it was the first time I have viewed Jupiter through my TEC140 and its moons were the most disc-like I've seen which was very promising.

Nearly dropped the scope on take down which made my heart beat a bit faster - it's much more top heavy than my other scopes which caught me out a little.

The first Jupiter of the year is like seeing an old friend after some time apart.

I'm looking forward to the views through my, new to me, ED120. Come to think about it, I'm not sure that I have seen it in my biggish Dob yet!
