Awesome seeing last night

In spite of a light haze and with dew on my corrector plate, last night was the best seeing I've ever had from my back yard. Jupiter showed a moon shadow and lots of ripples in the belts. Cassini's division was easily seen, along with subtle blotches on the disk of Saturn. It made me glad I lugged the C8 out into the damp!

I had my C102 out in the backyard and also watched some of the shadow transit of Europa. Saturn was also quite nice. Seeing was very good. I don't often get to use my 5mm ortho.
