Seeing was really bad. Trying to achieve focus was so, so difficult, the image was boiling and doubling so much but I noticed micro moments of okay views so took 300 second exposures and then processed the hell out of the images. Of all that I got this is the best one. Not great sadly but for how bad the sky was I am pleased I was able to pull out any details at all.

That looks very nice. I was surprised how bad the seeing was last night considering no direct jetstream over us.

Very nice!

[Simon128D]

Thanks to you both. 

Yeah, having such bad seeing in jet stream free conditions is just a kick between the legs really. 

I suppose at this time of year it needs to get silly cold to get the moisutre out of the air.

Nice image, I had some similar last night but not as good. Is that olympus mons at around one o'clock?

Yes it is, I was surprised by how well it was standing out. Even appeared well seen on the laptop screen at times.
