Finally, a morning where I could view Saturday, Mars and Jupiter. It was a little cold, using my 8in Zhumell Dobson telescope, but I was able to see Jupiter and its 4 largest moons, Mars, Saturn and its largest moon titan. I was really refreshing to view the stars again after so many cloudy days.
The last time I viewed was a couple of weeks ago where I was able to see the same planets in the morning plus a 5th moon with Jupiter and then in the evening I was able to see the Orion Nebula for the first time on my own. I wish I could have more days like that.
I hope others are able to view the stars too.
