It has been two whole months. After battling poor weather and saharan dust attackes, the skies cleared a bit yesterday to allow the possibility of imaging. After spending the first part o the night attempting to fine tune collimation on the telescope, the early morning hours were spent on observing Jupiter. Now a healthy 42" across, the giant offers a wealth of detail to be observed. The seeing was fair to poor for these captures however and the transparency was also poor as I did notice I was imaging through a veil of thin cirrus clouds, illuminated by the nearly full Moon. I also had a chance to test out the ADC/Barlow combo I put together and happy to report it seems to be doing it's job very well indeed.
