Not much to see

Used 3x Barlow lens. It was beautiful.

I think it was the first observation me and my brother could do since the weather was pretty bad since January. We were trying to see other stars when we found Jupiter and three of its moons.

It was a pleasant experience, we saw it in B/N because I haven't got filters yet.

Quite beautiful

The first chance I got I took my scope out to see Saturn. I was forced to look through a neighbors tree but enough light still came through the branches for me to see Saturn. It wasn't the best view but it blew my mind that I was looking at Saturn and could still see its rings despite the poor conditions. I was only able to view for about 15 min before Saturn went to far into the tree and the image became a dim mess.

First object I saw when I got my telescope. I was able to see three of the moons that night.

I never did go out and see it with a telescope, wish I did but I guess I'll wait for the next bright(ish) comet.

This was the second session with this comet. A combination of binos for visual and a bit of widefield photography to capture this comet (DSLR + iOptron Skytracker V2). Started by locating the comet with my binos and rigged the iOptron and DSLR after that. Wanted to get both the comet and the Pleiades in frame. This is my, so far, sixth observed comet.

The only time I have seen Mercury. I was able to view it as I was leaving work and take a few pictures. It was very close to Venus. I hope to see it through a telescope sometime.

Got my new scope too late to see our galactic neighbor.
