Hi Robert

I keep all my bad ones hidden, too embarrassed to show them as there are too many!! Your timing was spot on last night, I reckon seeing peaked somewhere between 8:00 and 10:00pm. I think that's when I managed to grab an avi of Clavius.

I also think that the "X" factor in getting good images for me has simply been time spent at the 'scope capturing images. Grabbing 100+ avi's gives me greater odds at getting that one sweet moment when it all comes together, as I have noticed so much variation even between adjacent avi's during a marathon session.

I try not to eyeball the avi's during capture now, as often I see excellent seeing in the 30 sec "wait" period between one capture ending and the next one starting - it makes me cry!

Cheers

Dennis
