Subject: Saturn and Jupiter..
Hello Willie, I found the other morning I could see clearly the stripes on Jupiter as well with
my 10 inch (they were very faint with the 4 inch) I`ve got some teething troubles with the 10
inch though, having broken the top plastic screw on the finder- this makes things more
difficult with little prospect of a quick replacement through the local supplier! Focusing
remains a problem- whilst I have the FCUSB and cables in my possession I`ve postponed
buying the motorised Moonlite focuser whilst I obtain a KVM switch which should enable me
to set-up my other VGA monitor outside (in tandem with the inside DVI monitor) This should
make focusing easier with both `scopes and avoid the endless trips in and out the door to
consult the inside monitor! Yours Mark.
