Hi all, here is one of the avis processed from last night, hoping for better soon. 14" LX200, DMK and 2.5x barlow.

Good job Lester,

Early on this night I was out observing with fellow IIS'er Kevnool with Kevs 16" Dob. The sky looked great with the stars steady to the horizon. Jupiter looked excellent through the eyepiece and I had high hopes when I got back to my observatory to image it.

Couldn't believe how poor the live feed was considering how good the sky looked. Things turned out a bit better on the night of Oct 9th though.

Stick with it.
Regards
Trevor
