Notes: Still getting used to the new telescope and trying out some Astrophotography. Had a nice view of Jupiter next to the Moon but could not get a clean shot of both at the same time. With the a good image of the moon with out being overly saturated Jupiter's moons would disappear. Also Jupiter was so close to the edge of the eyepiece it lost focus. Need to invest in another lens
