The sky near me was quite clear two nights ago until the mist came in. It was sufficiently clear to get a good visual on Jupiter. I was intrigued by the little twinkle around Jupiter’s 7 o’clock. Was it a moon? Was it a star, or was it my astigmatism? I thought I’d better check using Stellarium, but Stellarium didn’t know either. Every time I tried, it just kept printing “Wasat?” . "It's no good asking me" I replied. DaveP
