Patience won the night

Hi I have been waiting for a break in the weather to observe Saturn and Jupiter.

Tonight I went out and there they were I had a scope already parked in the garage and away I went Saturn was not to bad but a large cloud soon obscured it.

Jupiter was in a clear space to the left and I did manage to get a decent view  with two cloud belts visible and the 3 moons in a straight line to its right, suddenly the clouds rolled in and  that was the end of tonights session

Half a loaf is better than none. You seem to have good logistics with your garage being convenient. I have to port my instruments out of my office, down the hall, through the kitchen, out the back and off the porch. We are looking for a new home now and my wife included a shed for my gear on her list of amenities. So, you got some viewing in. That's what's important. 

Sky & Telescope magazine has some convenient web pages for Jupiter and Saturn. I check them before or after for what I am going to see or have.
