Note that the "Do Not Look at the Sun" label is still strung on the focuser screw - haven't bothered to take it off since I got the scope.
Used 100x, 120x and 143x.
- Full Moon – the glare makes it hard to see relief features on most of the western lunar limb. However, on the north-west just across from Aristarchus, Struve, Russell and Eddington are visible as lava flooded remains of previous impacts, looking like bays not unlike Sinus Iridum To the south, the striped floor of Schickard (lighter in the middle) is more striking than in the previous night.
- Jupiter – some detail visible on the equatorial bands, again a dark spot (not a shadow transit) visible on equatorial band; southern polar region prominent.
- Saturn – as in previous night, equatorial banding and Cassini Division evident.
- Mars – as in previous night, polar cap prominent.
