      STEVEN LS I haven’t been able to use it too muck because of cloudy skies, but i had some clear nights and I saw Pleiades, m42, and Venus. They looked spectacular. I have only been able to see Jupiter and Saturn once, and that was very rushed because I had to wake up in the morning and my alarm woke me up late. It looks like I have a clear morning tomorrow so I will tell you how Jupiter mars and Saturn are.
