Richard,
Didn't really look long enough to see the red spot. Was just kind of
roaming around til midnight then had to pack it in so I could be
rested(sort of) for work in the AM.

Joe,
Congradulations on your new scope! I was observing Jupiter
last night as well and can assure you the poor view at 293X
was due to the seeing. It was poor 95% of the time. It was even
worse just after sunset than when you were observing. If you
were patient though, the few seconds here and there of OK seeing
made up for it. Did you catch the red spot? It was rotating
off just about as the moon's shadow entered. It seems redder
this year than I ever remember, but it's still far from "red".
Enjoy your scope. I've heard really great things about those
C9.25 tubes.
