I just got through viewing The Jupiter, Moon, Saturn triple gathering. The moon is both between & below Jupiter on the left & Saturn on the right. It's a nice sight.

Last evening, my brother Anthony & I went to the Westport Observatory to look at Jupiter in their 25" Dobsonian & Saturn in their 14" Schmidt Cassegrian reflector. Saturn showed its North Equitorial Belt very nicely with the Cassini Division also showing well. Titan, Rhea & one other moon were also out. Jupiter showed four belts including The NEB, NTB, SEB & STB. Three of its four moons were also out last night. We also put the 14" on Alberio & the blue & yellow stars were beautiful. Finally, The Chinese space station passed overhead & it was about first magnitude.

Last evening, I observed Saturn & Jupiter with my Newtonian Reflector. Jupiter's NEB is definitely brighter than its SEB. Its four moons were three on one side & one on the other side. I also observed the sun this morning & I was able to see one sunspot on it.

Instrument: 130-mm equatorial reflector   Location: Marana, AZ, USA
Light pollution: light   Transparency: fair   Seeing: fair
Time: Wed Jul 21 11:30:00 2021 UT   Obs. no.: 2278

Observed Jupiter around 30 minutes prior to sunrise. The Tucson area is in the midst of monsoon, so sky conditions are mixed. The brighter objects (like Jupiter) were easy to find. Used a 22mm lens with Barlow. I was able to get considerable footage for stacking later. Used Pixel phone for video recording. Three moons were visible, and the cloud belts were apparent.

Saturn is barely visible close to the brighter one in the SW before 6pm PST.

Jupiter (Planet, est. mag -2.5, est. to be in Sagittarius)

This evening, My brother Anthony, my friend Joe & I observed Jupiter & Saturn with Joe's 8" scope. In addition to seeing Jupiter's belts, we also viewed the polar hood on Jupiter. It was very obvious. All four moons were out also. We observed Saturn's rings & three of Saturn's moons. We then looked at the moon & the terminator of the gibbous moon was full a craters. It was a great night of viewing.

This evening, my brother Anthony & I observed the Moon, Jupiter & Saturn with my 5.1" short tube reflector. All four of Jupiter's moons were out with three on one side. Jupiter's two main belts showed very well in the scope. Since Saturn was so low, I did see the rings of Saturn but they were blurry. I also viewed Saturn's moon Titan. The Moon's craters & crater rays were really outstanding. It was a very enjoyable evening of observing.

I woke up early this morning & took a quick look at the close encounter between Jupiter & the moon. They were only about three degrees apart & it was quite a site! I couldn't see Saturn because it was still behind the trees.

This morning, before sunrise, I observed the close gathering of the moon, Jupiter & Saturn. The moon & Jupiter were in conjunction with Jupiter a couple of degrees above & left of the moon. Saturn was about three or four degrees to the left of Jupiter. Tomorrow morning, the moon & Saturn will be in conjunction also.

Before dawn this morning, I observed the waning crescent moon, Jupiter & Mars form a very close triangle with each other. The moon was at the bottom of the triangle with bright Jupiter one degree to the upper left & dimmer Mars one degree to the upper right of the moon. Mars & Jupiter were also one degree apart. To complete the picture, Saturn was about five degrees to the lower left of the group. It was a sight to see.

Last evening, as I returned from work, I was able to enjoy the close conjunction of Jupiter & the moon. They were about two degrees apart with Jupiter being on the moon's lower right. In a few days, the moon & Saturn will be in the sky together.

This evening, I attempted to observe Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt with my mounted 10X50 binoculars. At first all I could see was the disc of Jupiter but no NEC. I then removed my eyeglasses and this time I was easily able to see the NEC. For the fun of it, I put my glasses back on and no NEC could be seen. I will always use my binoculars without my eyeglasses from now on.

For the last two nights, I've been watching Jupiter & the moon hang together in the sky. Last night the moon was to the upper right of Jupiter & tonight, Jupiter was to the upper right of the moon. It was quite a sight.

For the last week, I have been observing what I will call the spring triangle. This triangle contains The stars Arcturus, Spica & the planet Jupiter. This triangle will last all through the spring before Jupiter moves away from the triangle. Enjoy this temporary triangle while you can. It's a nice view.

Last evening, my co-worker Suezie & I got to view the conjunction of Jupiter & the moon as we left work. They were about three degrees apart. As an added touch, there was lightning from a distant thunderstorm also. It was quite a sky show.

This evening, my brother Anthony, my friend Joe & I saw the ISS pass directly over our heads. We then mounted our binoculars on a mount to view the heavens. We first looked at Jupiter & we were able to see 3 of its moons in the mounted binos. We also were able to see the rings of Saturn. In Scorpio, we were barely able to see M4 but the biggest thrill was we were able to get the smudge of Comet Johnson on Anthony's camera even though we couldn't see the comet ourselves with our mounted binoculars. We ended the evening by watching a blood red moon rise. We had a very enjoyable evening.
