Quick peeps from Goodwick



Out with 60mm/800fl red Tasco. 
Eyepieces binoculars? 12.5mm x64.

Quick observe tonight as the mist was rising fast and obscuring much.

Jupiter near/below Gemini.
Splendid as always, showing two distinct bands and satellites. 

Castor  showing primary smaller and slightly grey/purplish colouring. x64.

Algieba was the top dog tonight.

The secondary was a beautiful 'green' colour. 
Primary was whitish but that secondary was "Opal Fruits" green, a similar green to that of the Gamma Delphinus comes.

No moon up yet, just a quick observe to keep my eyes trained. 

The Tasco is doing a fine job at x64. 
Algieba especially put on a great show, considering how tight that double is at x64.

Alas the mist took soon took hold and I retired to the warmth of Martha.
