Better seeing at last . MAK 180

[Trevor N]

Eventually got around to processing some files from the 6th. I have enough for a short video so that's the next project. All taken through a 180 MAK  at prime focus using mono and colour  ZWO178's.  Also used a 685 filter with the mono camera. I'm still trying to work out the best spot to avoid heat rise from rooftops  but that seems to be a common problem. It also depends on the direction of the wind. Plenty to keep me amused !

Nice images Trevor. You're right about thermals off roof tops, they are the bane of my life (well planetary imaging life) as my house is east of my observatory, so everything rises over it. I have to wait until targets gain a lot of altitude and even then I usually get my best seeing after the target has transitted and heading west as by then I'm imaging over back gardens and fields.

Thanks Geof. I find it a bit of a black art really. Never sure what I have until I complete the processing. Trevor
