Gorgeous clear night in Kendal tonight, the Moon looked spectacular in my 4.5" scope. Took some pix, didn't turn out too bad...
Saturn looked really nice too, with at least 3 of the "other" moons visible. -------------------- |

The Jupiter image clearly shows that the South Equatorial Belt (SEB) has disappeared. The SEB disappears every 15 to 20 years for unknown reasons.
However the last SEB fading & revival only dates 3 years back. The largest planet in the solar system is the most satisfying object for small telescope users |
