Hi everyone

This was the second half of our night of good seeing. I'm almost at the point where I can say that €300 optics were not responsible for the detail in the galaxy. For sure it's not my processing skills; 15 minutes in StarTools is my patience level...

We don't know of any easy method of predicting the seeing. This doesn't seem to bear much resemblance to the actual seeing, so we resort to guiding for a few minutes and judge from that; the flatter, the more focal length we can use. Does anyone have a less time consuming method that doesn't involve changing telescopes in the dark?

Thanks for looking.

Very nicely done, just goes to show what can be done with a normal camera, your shots are always superb.
