Today I came up at 5:30am to see Jupiter and Mercury. I have seen Jupiter before, but not with my telescope, but i have never seen Mercury before. The jupiter view was awsome: i could see two darker zones and the 4 galilean moons were visible. seeing mercury was nothing special, i could not distinguish its fase. then the new moon appeard. that was beautifull also, it was just a very thin line.
now i have 3 vacation days, and i will go to sleep very very late.
with teelscope i have seen: Mercury, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter(calisto, europa, io and ganymede), Saturn(titan). i want to see Venus, and i think i'll see it one of these days...
