stash Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Jupiter is the largest gas giant in the solar system Rick. Mars is by contrast a pea size - so there's your first consideration. Wait till it's high in the sky and at least it will give you a better chance of more detail. Yes hot air currents from the tube and between houses won't help - so allow for cool down time, and maybe try a slightly higher magnification. M31 will be higher in the autumn so it's just a case of waiting for that one. And don't forget the least atmosphere is directly upwards - most is down towards the horizon. Everything else is in between. "And don't forget the least atmosphere is directly upwards" - yeh thats why I have a bad back and a sore neck - going to use a sun lounger next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
