PhotoGav Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm trying to continue an imaging project from last night and tonight the guiding is really struggling to do the job. It was fine last night, nothing has changed, except for the night. Is the seeing just significantly more pants?How frustrating... It seems quite clear, but perhaps it just isn't..... Oh this hobby does test a man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabeoo1 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I don't image, but I was hard pushed to get any lunar views above my x94 eyepiece without the wobble effect causing eye strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoGav Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Interesting, thanks for saying. I was wondering whether I should start fiddling with things... Always dangerous!Strangely, it seems to be settling down a bit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chops Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I found the seeing awful tonight from Suffolk, possibly the 'atmosphere' is generally clearer / cleaner at home in Cornwall.I only viewed the bright moon as too much moonshine for much else, but I can't recall a time recently where the view gets so fuzzy and 'defocussed' then snaps back to clear again.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoGav Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks folks. There seems to be a country wide pattern emerging here - tonight is a bit pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carina Lass Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Also pretty awful in Queensland My pics look like something from a magic lantern show.More a transparency problem really. Really poor contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The last two nights I've just looked out and given it up as a bad job as there was nothing visible below mag 2.5-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saganite Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I gave up after about an hour because of the' seeing'. With the 12" Dob, high powers just did not work and I had to drop to about 80x to get a very sharp, but small Jovian disc.However, 3 observing sessions in the last 5 days, leaves no cause for complaint.
