M82, Jupiter and Orion Nebula

I got a glimpse of the Supernova in M82 before the clouds moved in. It was hazy in that part of the sky and hard to see the galaxy, but easy to see the bright dot in the middle of the fuzziness. Jupiter's moon Europa was sneaky and not showing when I first looked into the scope. Then about an hour or so later it crept out from behind Jupiter and showed itself. The Orion nebula looked bright as its stars casts shadows on the clouds of dust and gas. Too many clouds out right now to view much else.
