Cheers Colin. I must admit that I'm surprised at the end result too.
Gradients were manageable on this night; the night before proved to be quite another story though.

That you Steve,. Yes, seeing sure makes all the difference.

Thank you Peter.
I agree completely with what you've said about good seeing - I thought that everything was spot on in terms of collimation & focal plane squareness when the seeing was 2"... quite a different story when it nudges below 1.5" - every little error shows up.
I must say though that I've given up 'preying for such nights' for fear of stalking charges being layed...

Personally, I'm agreeing with Mike now - if it's clear when the moons full, I just put my feet up and watch the olympics.
