The best seeing so far this year.

Hi Dave

Very nice images - glad to see you are managing to get out in Tassie and grab these great images. Working at F35.82, that's pushing the envelope; I'm still stuck at F25 with my set up. Must move on eh, to keep up with the Jupiter gang!

Cheers

Dennis

F35.82 :eyepop:, I suppose that varies slightly with temperature during the night..........:scared3:

Keep up the great work mate. :thumbsup:

Nice work Dave! looks like cooling is the way to go.

Hi Dave

I think this is at least the 3rd time you have injected the Meade Max Mount into various posts – this profiles you as having an obsession; as in compulsive, habitual, neurotic hallucinations of never-to-be-fulfilled dreams….

Wouldn’t it just be great to have one of these eh?

Cheers

Dennis

Send some of that seeing up our way please.
Love your work.

Nice work Dave, huge scale. I probably wouldn't rate the seeing at 8/10, I reckon you'd get a much nicer image at 8/10 seeing as I know you've got the cooling, collimation and processing down pat.

Was the image shifting much from frame to frame in the avi?

Lovely work, looking forward to more from you.

[davidpretorius]

you are spot on ice, it is all relative, just to see the image on screen not bubble tends to over estimate the seeing by about a factor of 2!!

so lets say 6/10 or 7/10

or it is a logarithmic scale???

Hi Dave, what a great pair of joops... so smooth and yet crammed with banding detail, and BIG!. Must get myself out again soon and get back into things.

cheers,

Rob
