Guest dardano Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Observation yesterday evening with my wife.Seeing 4/5Transparency 3/5Location: Pointe Ile d'Orleans (Chemin Dallaire) orange-red area.47 ° 0 '53.51 ", -70 ° 48' 27.81" Not a good spot because too much light pollution for deep sky. We looked at Jupiter and Saturn at 120x (Dobson 8in). Jupiter bands were clearly visible, but the spot was not on the right side. Saturn sharp and in focus. This planet is a jewel of the sky. However, we have not seen the Cassini division. My wife was amazed as she saw saturn and its rings for the first time ! M51, we saw the heart of the two galaxies but the arms were difficult to see. Double Cluster in Perseus. The rest of the evening was seeking in the sky. Next night = not there! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
