It seemed like the first clear night in almost two weeks, and I finally got back outside with the telescope. The moon is the dominant feature of the night sky, a bright gibbous lighting my back yard. I put the 9mm eyepiece in and concentrated on the terminator and edges. There were some nice mountainous regions with the craters well highlighted.
Saturn was a challenge because of the moon's glare, but a got a quick view with the 9mm. The wind was just enough to make things a big shaky, but I still had a few moments of the gold ball with its rings.
