Used C8 to observe Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars
Venus: Sky quite unsteady, a bit low. Gibbous phase visible, about 60%
Jupiter: Quite good, 2 bands obvious plus hints of 2 darker areas at poles.
Saturn: Rings very open and bright, shadows on/from rings visible.
Mars: 22.55 very bright and big, brighter tha Jupiter. No obvious surface detail.
Maybe a hint of a dark area near center and one cap, but uncertain.
