Me too. Stephan's never looked like that in my big scope!
Just got back from the Chesapeake Planetarium. I didn't go inside but stayed with the telescopes outside. Good attendance and excellent solar conditions today. Took my big refractor this time with the Herschel wedge. Got there early at 8 in the morning in order to take advantage of the still morning air before others arrived. The seeing was excellent and great detail was accessible in the largest group. As always seeing dropped slightly as the air heats up but still was perfectly ok for the whole time. I suspect someone will post pictures. Nice event.
