So on the bright side, I just realized it was 1:30 AM. MEANS JUPITER IS UP! So I grabbed my telescope and cranked up the magnification.
Saw Jupiter for the first time with my new scope. Saw Jupiter with its lovely dark cloud bands AND the four bigger moons. Europa and Io above, Ganymede tucked along the bottom of Jupiter, and Callisto far below.
Now I am really sad that I cannot hop in a Cobra Mk. III and head out for a closer look.![]()
I feel ya.
I can see Sirius from my bedroom window every night at the moment.
So I parked my entire fleet there. Lol
So when I go to bed, I look out of the window, and think "All my ships are parked there". lol
