11 May 2006 Observation

Date: 11 May 2006
Time: 10:28PM GMT+8
Sky Condition: Partly Cloudy

Objects Observed:
Planets

1. Moon
2. Jupiter
3. Saturn

The sky is partly cloudy but the Moon and Jupiter are clear enough but not the Saturn.

I use the Light Red and Dark Blue filter to view the Jupiter. Jupiter is really big in size and superb in quality today. May it due to the Jupiter is not far away from opposition? For you information, Jupiter was at the opposition (i.e., nearest to Earth) on 8th May.

There are lots of clouds at the direction of Saturn thus it’s not nice in view. The cassini division is hard to be seen.

I also notice that my LX90 collects the dew just in a short time.
