You have to take it as it comes and catch every clear night. There is no alternative. Seeing was decent, as was the transparency of the sky, but certainly not top notch. Jupiter was still rather low, some 16 degrees above the horizon. As a result, the amount of detail is average. Never mind.
Nice dry weather, so I could spend a little more time at the field sketch, which I made on the telescope with pencil an paper. Everything stays neat and dry. Even the mosquitoes had their night off, or was it because of my "Deet?" There was enough light coming from my surroundings to see what I was doing. Jupiter doesn't need night vision. There was no need to make an intermediate sketch, which is my custom. The final sketch shows the same as the field sketch, with the difference that some color has been added.
A magnification of 180X in the 120mm Evostar with my planetary top-eyepiece, the Pentax XO5 was actually a bit too much. With the Leica Zoom I kept lowering the magnification until I could see the finer details. 120X turned out to be ideal. Click on it for a better view.
