Too hazy now to see anything now but the fog/mist from last night did eventually clear enough for me to get out again earlier this evening and have a look at Jupiter, even had the family out there to have a look, which is a bit of a double edged sword.  Maybe they did it as a prompt to get me to do something with the rocky paving slabs where I do my observing?  My youngest was the first to point out that Jupiter looked blue at the top and red at the bottom, which was something that was mentioned in the Jodcast, but I hadn’t noticed whilst I was looking at it!  All the eyepieces resolved Jupiter + 4 moons, would have liked to look for more but it started to get quite low and plants and trelliswork were starting to become an issue!  Bit surprised that the image of Jupiter was quite so fuzzy, couldn’t get a good look at it with the 9mm + Barlow, difficult to keep it in the field and the vibration from people stomping around was a little problematical.  I was told that the Meade x2 Barlow is quality kit and that the eyepieces that came with the ‘scope are at best average and ought to be replaced.  Certainly looks like the case for planetary work.  Not the next thing on the shopping list though; looking at the NexRemote kit from Celestron which includes cables and software to enable control of the SLT from a PC, also looks like it should allow me to hook up my GPS to it as well but not too sure how?  I will probably get it this week but it’s not easy to justify the expenditure when I’ve been able to do so little with it over the past months.
