Good question Domenic, I look at how steady or not the stars are at the altitude I am imaging at but the primary thing I go by is the live feed on my monitor. Often the quality of the final processed image will look better than my estimate of the seeing might infer. The thing to remember is my seeing estimate is on the actual live feed, so on the stability of our atmosphere on average for the duration of that capture, not the quality of my finished image. In marginal seeing I may only stack 40 to 50% of my data while in better seeing such as for Saturn on Feb 9th I stacked 65% of the available data.
