jupiters belts finnaly!

[PhobetorXVII]

i finally saw jupiter belts 2 main dark brown on the center and 2 bright brown on the south and north side of the planet i used low power eypiece with 2x barlow afther looking at it only on a little higher on the horizon than i usually look the thing is that i live in a hight building and jupiter allways going behind my building to the west so i cant see him afther that. when he is on low horizon he is very fuzzy eaven in the low power eyepiece today i saw the belts i tried also the medium power eypiece but it was fuzzy again im sure if i could catch him when he is very high in the sky i could use eaven a high power one. i also saw alot of star clusters they are much more easy to locate without using any barlow lens with just low power eyepiece. i hope to have an opportunity to be in an open field without any buildings and be able to see everything

All right, Tom! Way to go ! And, there's so much more you're gonna see...

That is good news indeed. If you can see the colored bands, you may be able to detect a shadow transit.

Good going keep on looking at it you will see more than that. I was out on Sat night it was all That I could do to make out the belts. the conditions where not right.

Good going, Tom. If you could get to a location where you can see Jupiter at its highest you would see more detail. I hope that trip to the field will bring in some great views for you.
