Avoid aiming your scope across heat sources, like house roofs, etc.

Thanks. The moon was actually either in the middle of the night or about an hour before dawn, but pretty low on the horizon (that's when it is in front of my balcony). Full moon was much earlier though. And it was warm... Unfortunately there are also all sorts of buildings around. And trees too, which might also cause some air movements.
Not the best place for watching, I know... I hope this will change soon. I hope winter will be better. The weather has been really crazy here though since I bought my camera. Very hot (>30 degrees), then strong winds, then suddenly rain and thunderstorms, then hot again,... REALLY crazy. When it arrived the weather was still normal. I had my first session and it was great. But then.... New equipment curse I guess.
