Thank you for this! I got out my little 4" spotting telescope and we got to see some very good features on the edge of the moon and then with some extra power eyepieces I was able to see Jupiter and pick out cloud stripes. Also visible was the Galilean moon, three on the right and one of the left. No one in our small group had ever seen Jupiter that close with the naked eye.

I was up late last night due to some indigestion, but saw Jupiter and the moon close together. Don't know if that helped my heartburn at all, but it was pretty cool to see nonetheless!
FR: Sorry about the indigestion, but it's always good to hear that someone is actually going out to see the things we post about. Thanks for the note.

Participated in a midnight bike ride last night- got to watch the spectacular Moon/Jupiter show for two hours!
