Anyway I also had a crack at Jupiter but even with my 8" SCT I could not get the detail some of you achieve - the "joys" of a suburban site I guess. I also spotted something unusual while sketching the moon on Christmas Eve :-) and Edited by cpl43uk (12/28/12 12:17 PM) Post Extras:       Andrev Carpal Tunnel Reged: 02/08/11 Loc: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Re: Jupiter and also a Christmas Eve "odd sighting" [Re: cpl43uk]       #5592170 - 12/28/12 06:03 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Chris Cool.

Amazing sight with Santa, too!

I like your neat organized template you put together, really sets of the nice drawing quite well. Looks like your seeing was soft - kinda like last time I was out- really nice sketch though. I liked your moonshot!

It's rare that I get crisp views.

Hope your Christmas was a good one.
