I observed M67 shortly after Praesepe and Jupiter, they made a pretty tight triangle. This particular open cluster isn't super impressive. I estimated about 50 bright stars and many more dimmer ones. The entire cluster fit into the FOV of my 25mm eyepeice, so it's not that large either. Worth a stop if you're in the area, though.

Praesepe a large scattering of diamond like stars in the middle of a pretty unimpressive Zodiac constellation: Cancer. On this particular night it was located about 2deg away from Jupiter, which made it very easy to locate even with a 35% moon and terrible seeing.
With my Q70 wide FOV eyepeice, it still doesn't fit into the FOV of my scope. This is an object that is better viewed in binoculars! One of my favorite objects in the sky, and not because I was born in July.

The scope doesn't get a whole lot of vitamin D, so I took it out for a quick solar observation today.
There were 4 sunspot groups visible and many smaller evenly distributed freckles marking the surface. The heat of the direct sunlight made the entire image shimmer, which only added to the effect. A small amount of granulation was visible near the edges of the sun.

26 March 2015 5:00 AM After retiring to Bed around Midnight, I awoke before the Period of Second Sleep, and went out, this time in Garden adjacent to my Domicile, and Observed Saturn with the Telescop of Jason. Where Sr. Galileo had noted “Ears” on the Sides of that Planet, I observed them to be more Pointed, as triangles affixed to the sides of a Circle. I have Indicated their Appearance in my Drawings.

With the Aid of an Ephemeris, I was able to Determine that the Medician Star to the West was Ganymede. Being Brighter than the others, that may have been why it was the Only one Visible in the Pollution of Light that was Present.
The Subordinate Stars on the East Side of the Planet from Jupiter outward were Io, Europa and Callisto.

The Planet was directly at the Meridian, and High in the Sky, necessitating a Most Awkard Posture when viewing, exacerbating all the Infirmities of Olde Age which Divine Providence has granted me. I was able, however to Identify one of the Subordinate Stars described by Sr. Galileo, directly to the West of the planet, which was Clearly Visible as a Round Disc, distinct from the Fixed Stars. Whether due to the Inconvenient Positioning, or the Lightening of the Sky due to the Profusion of Elect...
