Based on your signature, if you're imaging at 650mm focal length I think you'll always be able to image successfully enough. If it was *really* that bad you could at least collect RGB and prioritise luminance when it's better.

It is one of those times that if it is in the back yard it isn't too bad but making the trip out to a dark site, having to get up at 4am to pack up to start work at 6:30 am

At the moment I am imaging at 1.16"/pixel and on a good night I can get <2" FWHM so I can drizzle out a bit more sharpness. On a bad night I am getting 4" seeing or ~3.5 FWHM.

That was the purpose of this post, how bad can the RGB be before it just needs to be retaken?
