Ibbo! Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Eventually got a few images out of yesterdays session. Either the seeing was soft orr I have lost the abillity to focus properly.

Rusted Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Well done Steve! The soft seeing was a nightmare! Hours of frustration over two days so far! I couldn't focus properly myself despite having an ultra-slow, DIY electric focuser. I put it down to thin, high cloud causing a haze over the sun. The weather has broken now and the sun gone into hiding. Probably ashamed of itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Drew Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The seeing was a bit hazy yesterday as well now that the aviators seem to be back in business. A bit light on proms after the recent examples but surface detail was centre stage. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
