I am home early but took my ST80 out to houge tonight. The seeing was
very good. With the ST80 I was seeing Jup's 2 main equatorial belts as
well as north and south polar belts.
Mercury showed a definite phase (about 6:30) or so. Saturn is at zenith
and even mars was looking pretty nice although it is only about 4 arcsec
right now. There were a few showing up when I left so the turnout wasnt
bad for a non-star party..
