I have been the last month or so, knowing there are four planets in the night sky, but it is harder for me to get out these days. We have had severe cold weather here in NC, or cloudy , or foggy. The kind of weather that I can not handle any more. I was beginning to wonder if I would e able to view all these planets in one night again. So we , after all this cold etc, had a warm day, up to 80 degrees, so out came the 90ETX. The weather was so good, the moon was not full enough to hurt anything. The atmosphere was really good, no boiling, I could see Venus, very sharp edges, Jupiter was very sharp, bands were clear and the moons were pin point. Mats was also nice, could see some of the dark spots easily, with a modest 80X. The worst view was Saturn, because it was so low, down in the tree tops.
It is going to be cold again tomorrow, with highs in the 40's, windy, so I am very happy to get this night. Hopefully we will have some nice viewing nights again before the planets move on .
