This sketch was done on Rite in the Rain paper with a number 2 pencil. I used the
edge of my eraser shield for the bands and blending was done with my finger.
An Orion ED80 was used on an LXD75 mount, all of which were on antivibration pads in
the observatory. The eyepiece was a Zhumell 21-7mm zoom with a WO dielectric
diagnoal

Dear Erika,
I’m impressed with the level of detail that you have captured with such a small scope you do have a good eye.
I’m already missing Jupiter as it is too low for me now, there is always so much going on in those cloud belts.
Warm regards, Dale
Erika.
Wonderful pair of Jovian sketches. It was a nice, interesting target all summer long.
