Saw M2 tonight, which would be a personal first. I have never before seen a globular cluster, so I was a bit unprepared for what I saw. It was like a star that I couldn't bring into focus, even tho the other stars were all sharp.
Absolutely beautiful!
Since this location has a better vantage of the easter sky, I also took a look at Jupiter, just as it was a few degrees above the horizon. I was able to discern Jupiter and 4 moons. It appeared that one was just completing it's transit, because at first there were 3 moons, then the 4th looked like it popped out of the side of the planet.
What a stunning morning.
