SJ D50L

Seeing was terrible last night due to the Santa Ana wind. Instead pleasingly warm. Over 80F daytime these days. Sorry to the people who live in the winter stormy areas.

Anyway, I pointed the scope to the Moon and the Jupiter.

A white telescope mounted on a black tripod, positioned outdoors with blurred green trees in the background.

Masuyama 15mm was proper one for viewing the entire the moon. It was exactly what I was expecting – very good contrast.

The long FL achromat always reminds me of the experiences when I was observing thru GOTO 80/F15 50 years ago.

The Jupiter’s 2 bands were somehow visible.

Unfortunately the sky was not good condition. I will re-attempt over this weekend.
