I used a bit more power on Venus and Saturn this time. Saturn to show more detail on the rapidly shrinking rings. Venus to spread the blinding brightness out making the more than 3/4 waning phase visible.
Jupiter as usual satisfies. I tried to get aimed at the Pleiades but the finderscope problem was making this hard; the 0x Telrad unit is great for aiming at naked eye objects, but anything on the edge of visibility is not practical. Getting the 9x50mm finder working again will do wonders for that.
I still need to disassemble this all to fix the recalcitrant clock drive.
