For anybody into astronomy, Jupiter is starting to look very bright . It will carry on becoming brighter until the beginning of May. Jupiter rises a little after 10pm, almost any reasonable scope will show some of its belts, one of the best objects for anyone new to astronomy  paul |

Scopes used for birdwatching are usually good quality so should be ok for the night sky, ideal for star clusters & some galaxies and even watching birds  paul |

maybe so Mark, but that really is a photo of jupiter and if you zoom in a bit, you can just make out one of its moons. When the photo was taken Jupiter was showing really well. Its just a shame I did not have the camera that I have got now.................Jon |

I really must get my scope out and take a look when we get a cloudless night.
