Jupiter

Oct 11, 2012 First clear night in a while, got to see Jupiter for the first time though *my* telescope. The moons from left to right are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. I will be able to see the bands and maybe the red spot closer to opposition on December 23. While I was waiting for Jupiter to rise over the tree tops I spotted the Pleiades cluster by accident. I saw a fuzzy patch in the sky so I decided to point my telescope at it and bam! Subaru.
