I took a very quick peek at Jupiter tonight.
Firstly, the setup and finding Jupiter was the easiest by far, remarkable since it’s been so long. I even had the 10mm lens in by mistake but Jupiter was almost perfectly centered.
My polar alignment was very rudimentary, not using a compass just pointing more or less south. But it was good enough for manually tracking.
Jupiter was at about 30° when I looked, so reasonable viewing, but it would have been better later in the night.
It was so bright I used the moon filter, but I couldn’t make out the bands or the great storm. The four visible moons very clear.
There seemed to be a little heat refraction, but it could have been the very wobbly tripod and mount, I really must upgrade at some stage.
Overall it was a very pleasant session.
