I agree - the seeing was ordinary, but it was actually the first time I could use my new eyepiece for more than 5 minutes due to clouds, so that was nice and I actually have the nicest viewing of Mars so far (although my new eyepiece + the Barlow lens was a bit blurred, but the new eyepiece on its own was very nice). However when I first went on the balcony I heard some very loud flapping of wings so I had to close the door very quick because I didn't want an unwanted visitor at 2am.
PS: I have sheepskin boots for my toes (for next winter).
